Bellevue uses the following procedure - which I just read and I see now that it needs a slight modification. Not a popular service but materials that have been mailed out have come back.

Subject: [LIBRARYDIR] Books for online/distance students
At this point in time, we have not provided books to students "at a distance" who are taking online classes from WWCC. We have had our first request to furnish books to a student who lives in Battle Ground, WA. What do you do at your library with students who need resources that are not electronic? Do you mail books and hope that the student mails them back? If so, did you get extra budget to cover postage & supply costs? Have you had trouble with returns? Any words of wisdom on where to start to address this need?
Thanks,
Stacy
