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

[Campbell, Heather]

JPL  (Jacksonville Public Library) labels and packages the materials
then sends them on to the city mailroom for postage and mailing.  UPS
mandated returns are handled in-house.  We print up the labels from the
UPS site.  The UPS driver comes by every day to pick them up.

The Norfolk Public Library labels and packages the materials then sends
them on to the city mailroom for postage and mailing.  Special requests
like insurance (pre-filled out), USPS first class, or UPS are simply
rubber-banded to the package (the insurance receipt is returned via
interoffice envelope).

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.
