[Genealib] Research Services

[Linda Koch]

As part of their contract agreement, Michigan Libraries on the MeLCat Interlibrary Loan program are forbidden to charge for ILLs.  We may charge late fees, but not fees to order, deliver, or return items.  This sometimes can be an large investment of staff time, but our patrons love the ILL services.
Sincerely,
Linda Koch

        Perhaps six months ago, the Maricopa County Library District (where I work) decided to charge for ILL. Our business has sharply declined. We charge $5 but I understand that once we charge the lending library may add additional charges to the customer.
