Abstract

Abstract This study looks at known-item searches within a university catalog that come up with a “no results” response to see whether patrons will then place an ILL request for that material and how persistent a user might be in order to obtain something that they want. Catalog search transaction logs were compared against interlibrary loan (ILL) requests placed during the same time frame. Overall, the rate of persistence, or the frequency with which ILL requests were placed when no results were found in the catalog is very low.

(否)发现会导致(不良)交付吗?比较事务日志与ILL请求以确定图书馆用户的持久性

本研究着眼于大学目录中出现“无结果”的已知项目搜索，以了解读者是否会对该材料提出ILL请求，以及用户为了获得他们想要的东西可能会坚持多久。将目录搜索事务日志与同一时间段内放置的馆际互借请求进行比较。总的来说，持久性的比率，或者在目录中没有找到结果时放置ILL请求的频率非常低。

期刊介绍： The peer reviewed Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve is the only North American journal devoted to interlibrary loan, document delivery, and electronic reserve librarianship. While other journals in reference services and academic librarianship occasionally publish articles on interlibrary loan or electronic reserve, this unique journal publishes over half of all articles on these topics. These important articles are a mix of practice and theory. Retitled from the Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Information Supply to reflect the expansion of its focus to include electronic reserve, the Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve marks a clear direction to make the journal even more useful to all libraries.
