[ILL-L] Lost book

[Megan Bayonet]

I believe that what you're looking for is in the National Interlibrary Loan
Code (quoted below).  
 
"4.9) The requesting library is responsible for borrowed material from the
time it leaves the supplying library until it has been returned to and
received by the supplying library....  If damage or loss occurs, the
requesting library is responsible for compensation or replacement, in
accordance with the preference of the supplying library."

Hi All,

A book we borrowed from another library never showed up. I requested and was
sent an invoice and sent it to the director to be paid. My supervisor
insists that this is not proper protocol. That we are not responsible for
the book since we never received it. I have seen it many times on this
listserv that borrowing libraries are responsible for the book from the time
it leaves their library until it is safely back in that library. Where can I
find this documentation?. I've looked on OCLC resource sharing but haven't
found what I'm looking for. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
