INTERLIBRARY LENDING STATISTICS: THEIR COLLECTION AND USE

Abstract

Interlending has become increasingly concentrated on the national centres (now the BLL) since the war, particularly since the establishment of the NLL. The main factor in this has been the acquisition programme of the centre, which now aims to acquire all significant serials, reports, and English language monographs — categories which together account for about 95% of all interlending in the UK. (If the BLL had been established in 1900, it would now be able to supply 95% of all demands, instead of the 83% it supplies at present.)
