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

[Aaron Prosser]

We limit ILLs to 20 per academic year before the patron is asked to pay per ILL, but have no policy on concurrent ILLs.

Archbishop Lanfranc's guidelines for the English Benedictines in A.D. 1070:
On the Monday after the first Sunday in Lent, before brethren come into the chapter house, the librarian shall have a carpet laid down and all the books got together upon it, except those which the year previous had been assigned for reading. These the brethren are to bring with them, when they come into the chapter house, each his book in his hand. Then the librarian shall read a statement as to the manner in which brethren have had books during the past year. As each brother hears his name pronounced, he is to give back the book which has been entrusted to him for reading; and he whose conscience accuses him of not having read through the book which he had received, is to fall on his face, confess his fault, and entreat forgiveness. The librarian shall then make a fresh distribution of books, namely a different volume to each brother for his reading.

-John Boone Trotti, "The Theological Library: In Touch with the Witness," Reformed Review 35 (1982): 160

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!
