[ILL-L] Questions about what to do with paid-for book

[Document Delivery]

We would keep the book with the idea that we paid for it already, no?

Subject: [ILL-L] Questions about what to do with paid-for book

 

A colleague of mine has asked that I pose this question. I know what I
would do, but I'm looking for a general consensus.

 

Here's the scenario:

 

Your patron loses an ILL book and you pay the lending library for it.
A year and a half  later, the patron finds and returns the book.  The
book is still in useable condition, and according to the lending
library's catalog, they have not replaced the book.

(BTW, the patron was NOT charged for the book)

 

So...my question is two-fold:

 

1. As a Borrower, what do you do?

 

2. As a Lender, what would you prefer that the Borrowing library do?

 

Thanks in Advance,

Karen
