As Sam Goldwyn might say not worth the paper it is not written on. You could blow them off or could just ask politely why they object to ILL. Again I think it is mostly because they think some institution might use it avoid buying one themselves and while no one can guarantee that would never happen I think if you explain it usually for individual research it would help. Without a written agreement you are under no obligation in any case.

VIDEOLIB is intended to encourage the broad and lively discussion of issues relating to the selection, evaluation, acquisition,bibliographic control, preservation, and use of current and evolving video formats in libraries and related institutions. It is hoped that the list will serve as an effective working tool for video librarians, as well as a channel of communication between libraries,educational institutions, and video producers and distributors.
