So glad someone has raised this. We are in process of reviewing ILL charges and policies, and would love to get some feedback from others. Current policy here at TVU is to charge students (not staff) £1 per request, paid upfront as an admin charge and non-refundable. Students are limited to 20 requests per annum, staff to 50. Requests are accepted for academic purposes only. The charge seems low to me, and the limits generous. But not everyone shares this view, and I'd certainly like to compare our practice with other institutions.
