The Implementation of a Renewal-Limits Policy at University Libraries, Northern Illinois University
Martin, Rebecca
Journal of Access Services, v1 n4 p89-96 2003
In 1991, the University Libraries of Northern Illinois University implemented a revised policy for renewals of library materials. Various system, staff, and patron-related concerns required the access services department to adapt to immediate demands, then to seek longterm solutions. This case study examines the initial impact of the new policy, corrections, and new procedures that were adopted over time. It also examines ongoing issues related to renewals policy.
