[ILL-L] Using ILL for course reserves

[Document Delivery]

Since ILLs are assumed to be used by one patron, it seems to be the
concensus that if they are to go on reserve you should have the
permission of the lending library. But if she requests them for herself,
that's her business, it seems,

Hi,

 

Yesterday a TA came to me with a long list of books that the professor
wanted to get through ILL and put on reserve for a class from Sept 8 -
Oct 2. Now, I know this is a big no-no and I told her we would
definitely not put any ILL items on reserve. She was OK with this, but
told me she would just get the books and make them available to the
students herself. My question is, "is this acceptable?"  Technically, if
I didn't know what the books were for I wouldn't think twice about it,
but since I do, I am wondering if there is anything I should do? Or, do
I simply order the books and let her do with them as she pleases? 

 

Also, is it explicitly stated anywhere in official documentation that
ILL's cannot be used for course reserves? 

 

Thanks as always!

 

Sean
