Abstract
This paper looks at the link between levels of library acquisition and interlibrary loan demand, using data from 12 libraries over the period 1975/76 to 1984/85. The authors suggest that the link between the two items is less simple than might at first appear; the results of their survey show no clear correlation between cuts in acquisitions spending and increased demand for interlibrary loans. They suggest that this is an area which might repay more detailed study in the future.
