How to be a good borrower:
_Educate your readers._ Explain that some materials may not
be available on interlibrary loan, that requests may take
time to fill, that renewals may not always be granted.
_Encourage_ your readers to take full notes of bibliographic
sources and references, to supply all necessary data, to
fill out a work sheet for each request.
_Screen_ requests carefully. Eliminate requests for items
that are too new, too popular, too inexpensive to process,
too ephemeral.
_VERIFY_ all citations.
_Make sure_ your teletype messages and interlibrary loan
forms are free from typographical errors.
_Return_ materials promptly. If a renewal is necessary, ask
for it before the date due. If a book is lost, notify the
Council and pay the bill promptly. Your library is
responsible for all books it borrows on interlibrary loan.
Books received through NYSILL should be returned directly to
the lending library, not to LILRC.
_Limit_ the number of items you request on behalf of any
reader at one time. Materials on a given subject should not
be monopolized by one patron in the region, and deadlines
and due dates must be honored.
_Notify_ us when you have a book to be returned.
How to be a good lender:
_Answer promptly_ and courteously when you receive a
teletype message, telephone call or typed forms by mail or
courier. The library you supply today may supply you
tomorrow.
_Reciprocity_ is the key word.
Please say "_yes_" only when you ar
