[ILL-L] ILL Code provision

[Megan Bayonet]

My understanding was that requesting items that you own is discouraged but
not expressly disallowed.  We've had several discussions about it on here
and the consensus is usually that we will borrow items for patrons who need
a different format (large print, print vs. e-book, etc.) or if our item is
checked out.  Here at VMB, an academic library, we won't request anything
that we hold in reference or that we own but is checked out.

Hi folks,
We are having issues with our customers wanting to ILL items we own but are
noncirc (local history/genealogy  room items). 
I had been told that this is forbidden by the ALA ILL code but i'll be
damned if I can find this in any link to the code I've explored.
If some kind soul would point out this section I would be most appreciative.
If it's obvious, name calling is allowed.
Don't suggest trying to work something out with limited circulation from our
Carolina Room, I've already tried that. Felt like I stuck my arm in a hungry
lion's cage or in Heather's case a hungry saber tooth tiger
Thanks,
John
