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
