Since I know a few librarians personally, they have told me it costs about $15 to get an items through ILL (on average). He told me that there is a library district near by that will buy books give those to the patrons and then toss the books because it is cheaper then ILL. I was shocked at this news.

The 6th month restriction is hard, but I just wait a little longer to read and the hype dies down.

This year because I've been getting so many books from other libraries -- whether through the Consortium or ILL -- I decided to record the holding library of each book I borrowed. So at least I know for 2014 where each book came from.<br /><br />While ILL has a 6 month since release restriction, I've found that a lot of libraries have implemented their own 6 month since acquisition restriction. That can result in having to wait longer to borrow a book.<br /><br />Now I'm off to write about my own ILL experiences.Elsihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08901292005565591814noreply@blogger.com
