  • Beschreibung: <jats:p>Describes recent developments in interlending in the UK, including eLib projects, electronic journals, the growth of commercial suppliers and resource‐sharing initiatives. Also looks at interlending activity in recent years and how this affects different types of material. Progress in other document delivery projects is examined as well as prospects for future development. A report on the effect of local government reorganisation on interlending is considered, as is a proposal for a large‐scale retroconversion project. Some points and recommendations from the first national survey on “Why requests fail” are listed. Stresses the importance of taking work done on various reports forward.</jats:p>
