[ILL-L] ILL Code provision

[Linda Wilkinson]

We will try to borrow through ILL copies of reference items that we own if
the requesting patron is from one branch but the item is located at another.
If the patron's branch owns the item, we won't request it.

Using the same provision that Melissa cites below, our library will not
attempt to borrow through ILL another copy of a reference item we own,
or an item we own that is currently in use, on order, or just received
but still in processing.

Section 2 of the ILL code says:  

"2.1 The purpose of interlibrary loan as defined by this code is to
obtain, upon request of a library user, materials not available in the
user's local library."

Some libraries interpret this as 'materials you don't own'.  Others
interpret it as 'materials that can't be checked out', and so on.  We're
kind of in the middle.  :)  

We *will not* ILL items from our Reference department or our Special
Collection.  Period.  We won't ILL items marked "in Acquisitions", but
we will rush process them to get them to patron within 1 or 2 business
days.  We *will* ILL items that are lost, checked out, or at the
bindery.  That way they don't have to wait 3-4 weeks on a recall or a
return shipment from the bindery.

Hope this helps!

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
