An electronic user request system for interlibrary loans
Abstract
Examines the library at Smith Kline & French Research, which has been using an automated interlibrary loans system based on BASIS text retrieval software since 1986. Describes various approaches to automation. Shows how the new system allows R&D staff to enter requests for journal articles or issues, books and patents at their own terminal or computer, and to search the database for items already requested. Concludes that the system has been very well received in its first years of operation.
