INTERLIBRARY LENDING AROUND THE WORLD; A REVIEW OF RECENT PAPERS: XII

Abstract

Eleven different studies of interlending efficiency at regional level or in individual libraries are summarized. A network of academic libraries in NW Canada relies on its largest members. Problems at the national level in Denmark are reported briefly, along with studies of interloan requests made by two university libraries. In the GDR, a general library looks at both incoming and outgoing requests. The latest annual report on interlending in Northrhine‐Westphalia (FRG) is discussed, together with a study of bibliographically‐unchecked requests. The Hungarian Central Technical Library examines its growing role as a supplier of interlibrary loans. Three reports from different areas of the USA concentrate mainly on supply times, and an account is given of one joint venture that failed.
