This study details the efforts to explore this trend and to determine a cause using existing data available through the OCLC Atlas ILLiad Web Reports interface. A simple but effective method to analyze these substantial reports is presented and practical examples of analysis conducted at Albertsons Library are discussed. By looking at factors such as usage patterns, new user registrations, and cancelation language, the decrease in borrowing and lending requests was confirmed and attributed primarily to decreases in graduate student ILLiad registrations and a lending ebook deflection implemented in 2015. Additional, focused qualitative assessment and updates to user interfaces were recommended as a result of the study.","PeriodicalId":35376,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery and Electronic Reserve","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76808901","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Examining the methods in which libraries handle those requests may reveal new workflows wherein ILL can influence the direction of the library's permanent acquisitions. ILL data is able to drive immediate purchases of user-requested titles but also more complex models of acquisition. By comparing circulation rates and expenditures against traditional book-approval plans, acquisitions departments may also measure the financial effectiveness of purchase-on-demand programs and use them to both supplement and supplant those approval plans. At the core of Lehigh University's efforts is an internal library philosophy called “Flipped Interlibrary Loan” (F.I.L.L.), by which ILL can and should inform permanent acquisitions for the library collection.","PeriodicalId":35376,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery and Electronic Reserve","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-10-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80373984","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This service has been provided since 2002. Our mission, as one might surmise, is to ”get it for you,” no matter where the material resides, be it in our own collections or anywhere in the world (Yang 2004, 2005, 2012). The Document Delivery Services department of TAMU Libraries is responsible for interlibrary loan, book retrieval from library stacks for customers to pick up, and local collections scanning for our campus of over 70,000 customers. The department originally had 13 team members—five for borrowing functions, three for lending, three for local document delivery, one professional staff supervisor, one director of the department, and 11 student workers (3 FTE). In 2010, we peaked in terms of number of requests received, processing a total of 235,754 requests. Since 2011, we have seen decrease in all three functions (borrowing, lending, and document delivery). In 2015, we received just 156,000 requests (74,278 lending requests, 54,032 borrowing requests, and 28,064 local book retrieval and scanning requests), a 34% decrease from 2010 (Figure 1).
