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

[Barbour, Patricia A.]

Hello Carol,

 

Here at CMU, the ILL department packages all ILL materials.  

Then send them to the libraries receiving room for the campus mail

service to pick up.

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.
