Michelle,
You seem to be getting quite a few offers to host a visit already but
we've been using Millennium ILL for longer than we can remember and
are happy to show you what we do at Bangor.
We charge borrowers for ILL requests using prepaid vouchers and thus
avoid having to find ways to manage charging on the system. We charge
the same amount for copies and loans regardless of the source for the
sake of simplicity. Users often don't understand the difference and it
would make life more complicated than we can manage to charge at
different rates. We do charge higher fees for requests from overseas
and for microfilms of theses which have to be purchased.
