[ILL-L] Bookstrap Question

[Klump, Holly]

Ok, next question...

Do you prefer that the borrowed book come with or without a bookstrap, if you are going to put your own strap over it anyway?
Do you prefer that the book is just sent with some identifying information, such as the ILL number, etc?

We'll put our normal label for ILL requests our patrons borrow over whatever the lender provides.  The lender's label won't have your contact info for renewals, you might want to provide your patron with a due date earlier than what's printed on the strap, and there might not necessarily even be anything that indicates that the book was an ILL provided by you and should be returned to you.  There's probably at least a couple more other solid reasons to provide your own bookstrap/label, but I'm sure there's also setups that make these reasons redundant depending on what other systems you're using.
