INTERLENDING AND DOCUMENT DELIVERY: A REVIEW OF RECENT LITERATURE: I

Abstract

The principles of national interlending put forward by Line and Vickers and those for international lending developed by the IFLA Office for International Lending are considered in the Belgian context. A report on statistics in French university libraries and a survey of interlibrary borrowing by Antwerp University Library are summarized. Attention is drawn to some aspects of interlibrary loan costs. Various aspects of union catalogues are reported: the proposed German Union Catalogue (Deutscher Gesamtkatalog); union catalogue automation in France; the impact of the OCLC interlending subsystem on one US library; and a union list of serials/co‐operative acquisition scheme. Brief accounts are given of document delivery in South Africa, the use of telecopiers in a small network, and standardization of interlibrary loan procedures. A handbook on international lending in socialist countries and three reports of relevance to interlending in the Netherlands are mentioned.
