[Genealib] Interlibrary loan of genealogy books

[Tracy Luscombe]

As a general rule we do not loan our books, but offer to make copies.
There are some exceptions to that rule which I handle on a case by case
basis.

Subject: [Genealib] Interlibrary loan of genealogy books

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.
