The rules are that the volunteers are not allowed to charge for travel or mileage.They however can get reimbursed only for postage and photocopying - but nothing else.In many cases volunteers have been known not to ask for reimbursement for even that and some have refused to accept reimbursement for the postage and copying.These volunteers are not in it for profit, they are in it to help others.Many are already at the library on their own research so it's no big deal to do a lookup for someone.
