Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the literature concerning interlending and document supply.
Design/methodology/approach
The study included the review of over 130 journals and related material.
Findings
The race to build and deliver a system for dealing with the vast increase in OA-deposited manuscripts in the USA continues. Public access to publishers’ e-content is being made available in UK public libraries as part of the Finch report agreement. More developments in Patron-Driven Acquisition are described and much else.
Originality/value
Represents a useful resource for librarians and others concerned with interlending and document supply and such related matters as resource sharing and open access.
Keywords
Acknowledgements
Although much material is now free on the web, this review is still dependent on the support of the British Library where some of the material is still held in print. Over 130 LIS journals and reports are scanned as well as many web sites and discussion lists.
