[ILL-L] Lending New Materials

[Campbell, Heather]

We're a public library.  We don't lend or borrow anything that's
published in the present calendar year- nope, no exceptions.  This
means, of course, that we are getting oodles and oodles of requests now
because it's early in the year and all 2008 books are fair game.  And-
in the days before deflection- we received requests for books that
weren't going to be published for months yet. I wish there was a way for
those books NOT to appear in WorldCat until after they're published.

Hello All,
 
I am new to the world of ILL and would like to know what your policies
are regarding the lending of newly acquired materials. Do you lend new
materials? What do you consider new?  Will you lend something considered
new if you are the borrowers last chance?  
 
Thanks in advance for your replies. 
 
Best,
 
Sean
