WMS Procedures Manual: In-Library Use Only ILLs

In rarer occasions, sometimes a patron will request material that cannot leave the library, much like a reserve textbook. However, we do not check out the material to the patron's account. Rather, we use the in-house reporting tool in Circulation. See previous tabs for how to use this (coming soon). However, unlike reserves, faculty status does not eclipse this restriction (ie, faculty cannot take in-library use only materials out). 

These special ILL materials will have a flap on the book strap with information for the patron AND staff on what to do when you encournter one.

These materials could be in-library use only for a number of reasons, such as the supplying library wanting them to remain in our care, the material is expensive to replace and we would be liable if it was damaged or went missing, or it is fragile material.
