This book presents an assessment of the economic, technological and managerial priorities in the provision of inter-library lending services. The interests of the user are considered in detail, as well as the various cost-benefit arguments of importance to the library system. In so doing, it raises fundamental questions about the conventional wisdom in inter-library lending.
