If you've got the time (and who has?) it could be worth while liaising with the requester. It may be that after all that time they don't need it any more. Or they might have found a copy through the grapevine. Or they've left. Ursula McKean Assistant Librarian SCRI -----Original Message----- From: Emma Jones [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: 22 June 2004 16:04 To: [log in to unmask] Subject: How long do you keep an ILL request for? Hello, I have had afew inter-library loan requests in my pending folder for almost a year now. They are requests that The BL have ordered and are still awaiting, unfortunately I am unable to locate any other UK libraries that are willing to lend. How do you decide when to cancel a request that a student or member of staff has been waiting for. I'm thinking along the lines of six months, giving us a fair amount of time for searching or ordering in. I would be grateful for any input.
