“Apologies for cross‐posting”: a brief look at Internet discussion lists in interlibrary loan and document delivery

Abstract

E‐mail discussion lists have become an enormously successful forum for discussion among groups of like‐minded people, and a fair number exist in the field of interlending and document supply. The paper takes a look at those which exist in this area, and highlights the benefits of subscribing to the various types of list such as regional‐based lists, specific product‐focused lists, and general interlending lists. Instructions on how to subscribe to each of the lists mentioned in the article are also given.
