New Maximum Regional Interlibrary Loan Charge
The National Library of Medicine announced in October 1999 that a new national maximum charge for interlibrary loans (ILL) has been approved. Effective July 1, 2000, the fee for ILLs obtained from Region 7 Resource Libraries will be $11.00. The new price increase is the first in four years; in 1996 the price increased from $8.00 to $10.00. NLM's ILL charge remains at $9.00 for the present time.
This price change does not supersede any special ILL arrangements that exist between Resource Libraries and area Primary Access Libraries (PAL's) or other institutions.
After July 1, 2000, DOCLINE libraries will need to enter $11.00 in the MAX COST field. If an amount less than the $11.00 regional charge is entered in the field and the request routes to a Resource Library in the region, the request will be rejected for CST (cost) and retired from the system.
