[ILL-L] Reasons for no

[Bierma, Lynn]

Could it be that you're asking for a whole journal/newspaper?  We attempt, in every place possible in our policy notes, to let libraries know that we'll copy articles, but that we don't lend whole issues of journals or newspapers.  However, we receive many requests for a whole issue.

Subject: [ILL-L] Reasons for no

 

I have to say that I'm a bit perplexed by the use of reasons for no by some libraries.  I continually see "No - non-circulating" for copy requests.  I never know if that means a library doesn't send copies (although their policies indicate they do) or if no one noticed it clearly reads Copy.  The latest in a long string of such requests was a clear copy request for the San Francisco Chronicle.  To help everyone in ILL-land, maybe we could all make an early resolution to indicate correct Reasons for No, or to notice copy requests vs Loans.  

 

My 2 cents...
