We have a circulating genealogy collection about one-quarter the size of 
our genealogy reference collection. We ILL freely from it. (It does 
contain a number of duplicate copies that we would hold only in 
genealogy reference had we only one copy.) For reference materials we 
encourage other libraries to request photocopies of index pages, and 
then their patron can ILL photocopies of the desired pages.
