[ILL-L] Book swaps/exchanges

[Laura Barnard]

Do any of you (as libraries or ILL offices) use book swaps or book exchanges to get material for your ILL requests?  I am thinking of Swaptree, BookMooch, etc.

What do you know about these sites and how they work that make them a useful option, or what do you know that makes them undesirable for ILL purposes?
