The current state of ILL: some realities behind the hype

Abstract

Challenges the idea that the “future is digital”. Argues that instead the future will be a complex mix of paper based and electronic texts; with paper predominating for some years to come. If this view is correct, it has important consequences for the allocation of scarce resources, particularly in university libraries.
