[ILL-L] Who in your library packages your ILL materials?

[Megan Bayonet]

I package all of our outgoing material (using packaging that we recycle from
incoming items), address it and sort it by outgoing carrier (we use both
USPS and UPS).  Then I take it to our campus mail room where they print
postage and actually hand the mail to the carrier.  During the academic
year, I may get some help from student workers.

I was hoping to find out from some of you how packaging of ILL materials are
handled in your library. 

Here at UIS, the staff in the library mail room (bibliographic
services/acquisitions staff) have done this for longer than I've been here
(which is 13 years.) Here in ILL, we type a mailing label and include it
with the book. Then the library mail room staff put the books in boxes or
bags and tape them up. Then they are ready for the campus mail room staff to
pick up with all the other mail the library sends out.

I was wondering how many libraries have the ILL department actually
packaging up the books and how many libraries have a mail room doing the
packaging? Any responses would be appreciated.
