[Genealib] Interlibrary loan of genealogy books

[Heather McLeland-Wieser]

Once, long ago (several years ago at least) we discussed this question at the Librarians Preconference in Saint Louis.  If I remember correctly the only libraries who admitted to regularly loaning genealogy material were Mid-Continent and Seattle Public Library.

I'm giving an Interlibrary loan presentation later this week and am curious to know what type of ILL policies other genealogy libraries have in place.  Do you loan your genealogy books, and if so, do you have any restrictions?

As an example, we will typically loan family and local histories but will only photocopy pages from record indexes and abstracts.  We also have restrictions based on condition, size, and multi-volume sets.

Thanks for your time.
