I do not know whether it is technically proper to charge other libraries
for overdue material or not, but I have been told (via telephone
conversations) by participating libraries that they are strongly
considering charging other libraries because of the rampant abuse.
Personally, I totally agree with this solution. We charge our own
patrons for overdue ILL materials as a tool to control this abuse, and
it works very well; I have also suspended ILL privileges for habitual
abusers. In the same conversations I have also been told that some
libraries are considering a minimum $100.00 replacement cost for very
late ILL materials, which I always tell our patrons. This REALLY
works. I have overheard students comment to each other that they prefer
to ILL from other libraries so they can keep the material as long as
they want because there are no late fees. In the case of academic
libraries, our materials are greatly needed by our own/other students,
consequently, I feel late fees for any abuser is justified. Thus far we
have not charged other member libraries, but this is a topic we have
discussed, and will do so again. When you remember that it's the patron
who actually pays the fines and that ILL is just another form of a
library loan (which they would have to pay if they checked out the
material from their local library), I wonder why we even question a fee.
Just my thoughts,
Becky

systems - sorry, Ed.

Hello,
I just wanted to thank everyone who took time out of their day to reply
to my posting. I do have one question: Edward had replied to my posting
Friday morning and stated that it was against ILL code to charge other
libraries overdue fines. I looked over ALA's ILL Code at
http://www.ala.org/Template.cfm?Section=InterLibrary_Loan&template=/Cont
entManagement/ContentDisplay.cfm&ContentID=31579 and have not seen
mention of this. Could you explain this to me a bit further? I have a
meeting to discuss this issue with the Director this afternoon and would
like to have as much information as possible. Thanks!

Hello,
I have recently become responsible for ILL at my library and
have noticed an abundance of late fees in our system for books that we
have lent to other libraries. My question is this: Is it normal to
charge borrowing libraries for overdue items? We have recently received
an invoice from another library for an item that was 2 weeks overdue, so
I just want to get an idea of other library's policies concerning this
issue. I would greatly appreciate any help or advice you can give.
Thanks!

I would probably either keep the article to copy, or not fill any and
request that the professor put it on reserve, Ed.

We've had similar situations. What we did once we saw that a number of
people were requesting the same articles, and that the teacher would not
put the articles on reserve or Blackboard, was just keep a copy of each
article, even if they were within the last five years, and when we
received a request for one of them, we just copied from our copies and
sent it on. If the articles were older than the last five years, no
problem with copyright and ILL. If they were within the last five
years, we just kept our copyright records as we always have and counted
each transaction for our CCG records. We did not burden other libraries
with requests for the same articles over and over.
We've had many animals come to interlibrary loan, but they were not the
four-legged or winged type.

I need some advice from other ILL-ers. What would you have done in this
situation?
A professor on our campus gave out an extra credit assignment to his
class which required them to request one or two articles through
Interlibrary loan and answer questions about them. The articles are
older (1996) but I now have about 20 requests for both articles from 20
different students. My assistant and I processed many of them as they
trickled in without realizing they were all for the same two
articles-just realized last night.
I just spoke to the professor. He explained the assignment to me and
reported that he'd assigned the same extra credit at his previous
university and "never had any trouble from ILL" about it. Couldn't they
request ANY article from X Journal and write about it, I asked? No, he
wanted these 2 articles that he knew well enough to know that the
students had read/understood the article. Couldn't he have posted the
articles on Blackboard or put them on Reserve in Library, I asked?
Well, he wanted them to do a little more work than that. My main
objection to him was that this is a huge waste of my time, my
assistant's time, and all the lending libraries who are out there
scanning these two articles over and over for us.
But is this also violating some copyright guideline? What are my
options for the requests I haven't processed yet?
Thanks,

One site the list suggested is:

Also going to the organization's web site might help, Ed.
