Discusses the need for interlending as part of the concept of publication availability, the problems of setting up a training course, aims and objectives of training, the trainees and trainers, and techniques and training materials. Concludes that the problems posed by the co‐operative nature of interlending demands a structured training programme to ensure its success.
