[ILL-L] Do you let your alumni borrow books?

[Lee Jan]

We treat our alumns as community patrons.  They can check out materials,
but have a limit of 7.  We don't ILL for them.

Hi,

This is a question for academic libraries only. Here we have been
grappling with the question of whether to let our alumni borrow our
books. I would like to ask what were the policies in other colleges and
universities. We fear that, since we don't have any sway over them, we
may lose some of our books if we lend them to alumni. If you are
lending, do you do so free of charge or in return for a contribution or
a fee? 

 

I will be grateful to hear from others.

 

Thank you,

Elisabeth Birnbaum
