Hi Joanne
If an e-version was available, we would only consider an ILL if there
was a disability issue, or in the event that the e-version had crashed.
The e-version has usually cost a considerable amount of money and has
been bought to allow maximum circulation without using shelfspace

We've had a reader ask for an item via ILL which is available from our
stock as an e-book. I was just wondering what other people's policies
were regarding this type of item. If it is held in stock as an e-book,
would you allow an ILL for a paper copy if that was preferred, or reject
the request as it was technically in stock? Thanks,
Joanne Findlay
