Sometimes you can request items from nearby libraries. Sometimes you can request items from far away libraries. Sometimes libraries will copy pages, like the experience you&#39;ve had. Sometimes the items are rare and not circulated at all.<br /><br />It wouldn&#39;t hurt to contact the nearest (or biggest) library by you and see what can be done. <br /><br />Also, if either of the big genealogy libraries near me has it (use zip 77004 in WorldCat), I&#39;d be happy to look at it for you before you plunk down the $.Amy Coffin, MLIShttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00612044786240692282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-24208559794198104262010-07-25T09:10:30.783-05:002010-07-25T09:10:30.783-05:00Many libraries, in fact, most, will not loan genea...Many libraries, in fact, most, will not loan genealogy books. These are deemed too important to their collections to interlibrary loan and trust to mailing, mis-handling, any other of a long list of possible problems with the interlibrary loan.<br /><br />Double check with Mid-Continent Library, Inpendence MO, they have a collection of genealogy books that they maintain JUST for interlibrary loan. That collection is SEPERATE from thier main genealogy collection. You may or may not find it listed on World Cat. Also, check LDS to see if it has been filmed. <br /><br />Or visit your cousin, with lots of change in your pocket for copy purposes.<br /><br />I once had to visit the library in Dallas Texas to view the ONLY copy of a book I wanted to look at. I copied the whole thing.Carolhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11754623831815018924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-81673735896148712062010-07-25T08:35:50.593-05:002010-07-25T08:35:50.593-05:00Ah, yes.

However, I do believe in synchronicity when it comes to my genealogy research and I know that this book will wind up in my hands eventually! I may follow-up with the local librarian and see if she will try one of the other 11 repositories that have the book. Otherwise, it&#39;s a trip to St. Louis to read it there and visit a cousin while I&#39;m in town. :-)Susan Petersenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02788283253544225956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-70132381623152713762010-07-25T08:32:01.807-05:002010-07-25T08:32:01.807-05:00Greetings Susan, Have you tried searching for the ...Greetings Susan,<br />Have you tried searching for the title on Abe Books ? For the amount of money that this other library wants you to pay for photocopying It might be worth it just to purchase the book yourself.<br /><br />~KathrynKathryn Lakehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15013976370208588744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-48199876466946405862010-07-25T06:47:09.201-05:002010-07-25T06:47:09.201-05:00Susan, This exact same thing has happened to me a...Susan,<br /><br />This exact same thing has happened to me a couple of times. And like you, it was the money I was concerned about - I just wanted to read the damn book! You don&#39;t mention trying different avenues to get ahold of this book. Here&#39;s a couple that have brought me luck:<br /><br />Used book stores, ebay, BYU has loads of family histories and genealogies digitized and online. Internet Archive puts hundreds of books online everyday. University libraries in their special collections. Have you tried the Family History Library in Salt Lake? Maybe it has been filmed? That should keep you busy for awhile LOLSherihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01720122119370691488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-30450491553186446872010-07-25T06:14:03.539-05:002010-07-25T06:14:03.539-05:00Susan, I&#39;ve used it several times...once I had...Susan, I&#39;ve used it several times...once I had to use the book in the library (to where it was sent) and the other time, I was able to take it home. It depends on the rules of the lending library. I highly recommend it.Barbara Poolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07440544740334032378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4361643719072455990.post-79181784244483700852010-07-25T05:41:04.211-05:002010-07-25T05:41:04.211-05:00I&#39;ve only done interlibrary loan once and the ...I&#39;ve only done interlibrary loan once and the book was sent to my library and I was able to take it home and keep it for 3 weeks. If I wanted to renew for another 3 weeks, no problem! That&#39;s been a few years ago. Maybe things have changed? I was pretty shocked to read your post and see the charges!Lisa Wallen Logsdonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13003873811444854964noreply@blogger.com
