Examples from member institutions
These are provided as a courtesy, so please be careful to review for completeness or applicability to your own institution: there may be great differences in procedures such as ILL, coding patron records, etc. Some of the links are to the member's live web pages and would have the latest information. Other links are to documents submitted and stored in winter-spring 2009, so they are a "snapshot" of procedures at that time.
