@ElenLeFoll is charging for ILL the norm at European unis? everywhere I have studied or taught in the States, ILL was entirely free for students and faculty (not that €1.50 is an egregious fee, but it’s just surprising to see any fee at all...) 6 comments
@ElenLeFoll to be honest, given the political environment at US universities these days, I’m surprised that free ILL hasn’t been abolished—especially as I expect it’s predominantly humanists who benefit from it @tkinias @ElenLeFoll @unibibkoeln It depends on the library/country, I think. E.g. at the Sorbonne library it's 5€ (https://www.bis-sorbonne.fr/biu/spip.php?article95) but it's free for copies. I used it only once to ask for an article that was available in one single library in France, and it was incredibly useful! We also have some pretty complex rules that can influence the price depending on whether it is for research/teaching or for yourself, etc... @jbouton wow, that takes me back a long time... twenty years, maybe? interesting that the system is almost fully automated in the States... @tkinias @ElenLeFoll @unibibkoeln Fortunately, emails are also possible 😅 But yeah, as their website shows, the Sorbonne is still stuck somewhere 15 years ago 😂  @jbouton But wow, they have digital search! https://nubis.bis-sorbonne.fr/ 😂 @tkinias @ElenLeFoll @unibibkoeln |

@tkinias @unibibkoeln Students here do have to pay the fee. But we also don't have tuition fees!
