| Abstract: | The Interlibrary Loan Department at National-Louis University has operated as a separate department under the traditional interlibrary loan model for the past several years. The continuiing increase in demand for services coupled with a minimal increase in staffing levels at National-Louis has necessitated a re-evaluation of that structure. In addition, participation in IllINET ONLINE has resulted in a blurring of the traditional distinction between circulation and interlibrary load operations. This paper looks at the current trends in interlibrary loan operations in academic libraries and compare those trends to the evolving structure within the University Lirbary an NLU. |
