The initial part of this section which summarises the history and operation of the British Library/BLDSC is based on a paper produced for the RSLG, and is used with permission.

Useful annual summaries of developments in interlending have been produced in recent years by Stephen Prowse. For example, see Prowse, S. Trends and developments in interlending and document delivery in the UK in 1997. Interlending and Document Supply, 26(2), 1998, and subsequent issues.

We have not attempted an exclusive analysis of ILL management software systems, whether as part of an overall library management system or not. The BLDSC has a factsheet on ILL software suppliers that could form the basis of a comprehensive comparison, if required at http://www.bl.uk/services/document/pdf_files/Factsheet-D5.pdf

The BLDSC monograph lending data cited in this chapter excludes individual copies of articles and serials, but includes special collections of serials where a number of articles may be bound together in a single volume.
