Dear David

Here at Leeds University Library our practice is as follows:

a)      We do not place a limit on the number of requests a reader can make. However we do make a charge for Document Supply requests.

b)      We never make Document Supply requests for books which are on loan. The reader would need to reserve our copy of the book.

c)        If one of our readers reserved a book which we had lent through Document Supply the borrowing library would be asked to return the item earlier than the original due date. The new due date would be one week from the date on which the book was reserved.

Regards

Dear colleagues,

I wondered if you would mind sharing briefly your policies on the following :

a)      Do you limit the number of requests that a user may make at any one time or over any period?

b)       Do you routinely or in certain cases request via Document Supply items which are in your own stock but currently on loan?

c)       Do you shorten the loan period of items  from your own stock which are on loan if they are requested by another user?

Thank you

David
