[ILL-L] requests for the same item

[Brannan, Joyce]

We have a faculty member that has requested the same DVD for the second time in less than a year.  This time she stated that we should just make copies because she will probably need it every year.  I cannot find anything concerning how many times a person can request the same item.    It seems to violate the spirit of the purpose of Interlibrary Loan, at a minimum, even if there is not regulation against it.  We have suggested that she request the department include it in their book order.

Does anyone know of any regulation concerning this?  How would your department deal with it?
