Abstract
Considers some of the different perspectives to interlending and
library practices. Attempts to clarify the nature of some of the costs
associated with interlibrary lending (ILL). Observes that basically
there is no contradiction in library attitudes towards the need for ILL.
Shows that if all costs are taken into consideration, a case for better
stocks within a lending system, compensatory measures to net lenders,
and a more efficient document delivery system outside the library
environment can be made.
