[ILL-L] Limit to number of books a student can take out?

[Document Delivery]

We have a class where some students are requesting 15-20 books
interlibrary loan. We have a policy of no more than ten ILL books
charged out to a patron at a time. Do other libraries have similar
policies or thoughts? Thanks,

When their items arrived, we send an email letting them know that it is
here and that we will hold it for 10 days.  On the 11th day we send the
item back or recycle the articles.  If there are charges from the
lending libraries they are put onto the patrons account.  Otherwise we
don't charge.

I'm interested in knowing whether other libraries have a $2 fines for
items not picked up.   

We are considering doing this because we have over 30 returnables each
month that never get picked up.  We also have just as many or more
electronically delivered articles that the users never read.

Last year we instituted a $2 postage/handling charge for ILL's received
and
a $2         additional fine for items not picked up.  It worked
wonders!
