Interlibrary lending in France: the situation today

Abstract

With the closure of the Centre de Prêt at the Bibliothèque Nationale, and the prospect of integration of higher grade information systems, the French interlending system is currently facing a period of reduced functionality. If few significant changes have been noticed for the internal requests of French readers, the same cannot be said for foreign libraries which are experiencing difficulties in locating documents in French libraries. This paper aims to help users to understand the present situation, and to offer some pointers, which can only be a temporary solution pending the launch of the Catalogue Collectif de France (Union Catalogue of France).
