Previewing the Revolution: An OCLC ILL Feasibility Study

Abstract

In the past three to five years, those of us working in Interlibrary Loan have seen an increase in the number of local “home‐grown” electronic ILL systems. Typically, these systems were designed in response to patron desires, but sometimes the electronic requesting systems were created to help Interlibrary Loan staff. After all, it is much easier to read a printed request than a handwritten request.
