Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to provide preliminary results of the 2015 international interlending survey conducted by the ALA RUSA STARS International Interlibrary Loan Committee and compare these results to those of the survey conducted in 2011.

Design/methodology/approach

An international survey was developed using Qualtrics to both gather and analyze the results received after the survey was distributed via listservs and personal contacts.

Findings

The 2015 survey’s results generally showed similarities to those in 2011 with most participants both borrowing and lending materials internationally. The differences between the 2011 and 2015 survey are highlighted as are barriers to international interlending.

Originality/value

This study illustrates the most recent survey of international interlending practices with comparison to previous studies and will yield potential methods and activities for improving resource sharing globally.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to describe the international interlibrary loan (ILL) experience of three academic libraries in the Pacific Northwest and analyze factors impacting the success of international ILL. The authors seek to speculate on three possible scenarios going forward and conclude with a call to action.

Design/methodology/approach

The authors apply PEST and SWOT techniques, using their own institutions as case studies.

Findings

Some of the most critical factors affecting international ILL at their home institutions include the terms of electronic license agreements, open access, and physical delivery costs.

Originality/value

The internal and external factors affecting international ILL at these institutions are broadly applicable to all types of libraries throughout the world.

Abstract

Purpose

This paper aims to evaluate the use of alternative methods compared to traditional interlibrary loan (ILL) processes.

Design/methodology/approach

ILL departments around the world were surveyed about their policies and procedures for obtaining materials for their users.

Findings

The survey results indicated that alternative methods are predominantly a fringe activity, while most materials are still obtained through traditional ILL processes. There continues to be a great deal of room for exploration of purchasing, renting and the use of free resources to fill ILL requests.

Originality/value

This article shows that there continues to be a great deal of room for exploration of purchasing, renting and the use of free resources to fill ILL requests.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to describe the impact of WorldCat Local implementation on interlibrary loan and to suggest some strategies for successful implementation.

Design/methodology/approach

The experience of the University of Washington Libraries is described in detail with additional data from other early adopters of WorldCat Local.

Findings

The implementation of WorldCat Local caused a significant increase in the number of interlibrary loan requests, and a change in the type of requests and the demographics of requesters.

Originality/value

The University of Washington Libraries was the first library system to adopt WorldCat Local and now has two years' worth of interlibrary loan data to evaluate. This is the first analysis of those data.

Abstract

In this interview, Alvin Toffler, Tom Johnson, and Larry Bennigson talk about the forces driving change and how business leaders can stay abreast of the threats and opportunities arising out of these changes. The biggest strategic threat to many successful businesses will come from the external environment that tends to be outside the peripheral vision of corporate leadership. Culture, religion, politics, environment, and ethics are all going to interpenetrate one another to an extent never before seen. They will, in turn, penetrate business in all sorts of strange new ways.
