It was my understanding also that the requesting library is expected to
check the prospective borrower's policies to see if they charge before
placing the request.

If the max cost in your request says $0, the lending library agreed to
supply the items for $0.  It's not your fault that they screwed up.  If
they don't want those problems, they should make sure that their
Policies page is current and up to date and that they carefully check
the maxcost field.

Hi!

 

I'm sure this has been addressed before - but how would you handle this
situation?

 

We requested 2 articles from a "library" that is in OCLC. We looked in
their policies directory and they did not list a cost for articles or
loans. We put in our Max Cost field 0. They have now billed us for the
articles sent, at quite a high charge. They have agreed to drop the
charges down to $25 per article (from upper 30's and 40's). 

 

What is your thought on this, should we have to pay since we indicated
we could not? 

 

If you could respond to me directly as I get this list in digest form
and won't see answers until tomorrow, I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
