For borrowing

Multiply the number of annual ILL requests for which your library pays a loan or copy fee by $60 (average cost to write and reconcile each invoice, expense report, or purchase order: $60-80). On average, you'll save more than $60 by eliminating processing and payments. Each time a lender enters "IFM" and an amount that is equal to or less than the amount in the borrow form, OCLC will reconcile the payment of library-to-library fees related to the ILL transaction. Your result shows how much money OCLC ILL Fee Management (IFM) can save your library in borrowing and lending costs—without reducing volume or scope.
