Hi Gerry,
Great idea to get views of others. Can you collate the response so we
can discuss when we next meet.
Thanks

Subject: Overseas ILL
Hi All,
We are currently reviewing our ILL policy with respect to loaning to
overseas libraries. We do not currently do this, although do provide
copies through direct document supply. We also participate in the IFLA
voucher scheme as we do borrow from overseas.
I would be interested to hear about the experience of other academic
libraries that do loan abroad. For example:
1. Do you lend through the BL scheme, or through direct ILL and the IFLA
voucher scheme?
2. Do you have any problems with books being lost in transit?
3. How do you ship material?
4. Do you apply any specific conditions to overseas loans, or do you
decline to lend certain material overseas that you would otherwise loan
in the UK?
5. What do you charge?
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Gerry
