One summer I opened up video loaning to ILL and found it took up a heck of a lot of staff time (there are 2 of us), plus titles that were on loan for two weeks (one week to keep, one week for shipping to and from institutions) almost never came back in less than a month. It seems that most everyone's ILL department is understaffed so it wasn't necessarily a question of patrons not returning items on time but ILL folks not being able to keep to a tight turnaround. I decided that during the fall and spring semesters, I couldn't have our material out for that long. I, and I'm sure many others, do loan on a case-by-case basis when contacted directly by patrons or library staff. Danette Pachtner, Duke University Libraries
