INTERLIBRARY LENDING AROUND THE WORLD — A REVIEW OF RECENT PAPERS — X
Abstract
Surveys of interlending in Denmark, the Netherlands and Australia are reported, together with an examination of journal acquisition in American libraries. Interlibrary lending in developing countries is considered and attention is drawn to the importance of interlending in national library systems and in Universal Availability of Publications. Resource sharing in the USA is reviewed at some length, including discussion of interlending fees and finance, and diverse solutions to the growth of interlending from central stock reserves to on‐line networks and commercial sector involvement. Finally, microform lending centres, telefacsimile and digital text transmission are briefly considered.
