Bud Bennett from Radford University Working in ILL since 1987 First to actually purchase ILLiad (our first

request was 6/24/1998) Please feel free to contact me anytime with

questions or advice about interlibrary loan! brbennet@radford.edu 540-831-6126

- It is sometimes cheaper to borrow a book than to buy it

- ILL is a great way for the acquisitions department to analyze your collection

- Libraries can quickly get crowded and ILL makes weeding more palatable

No library can own everything but with ILL’s help it might seem like you can.

- According to a 2004 study of ARL libraries by Mary Jackson, each transaction costs a total of$26.77- this amount may be more or less for others and may only apply to those in her study, but it’s one finding among others

- Maxcost line- don’t forget to use it- IFM reduces processing costs- Some stores appear on OCLC as lenders- know

who you are ordering from- ALBRS, QUICK, BWBKS

- Sharing Groups- LYRA, SO6…http://www.lyrasis.org/Products-and-Services/OCLC-At-A-Glance/Resource-Sharing-Groups.aspx
