This book, first published in 1995, addresses the key issue facing
libraries on how to survive in an age of interdependence.
Increasingly, individual libraries must act as if each is part of a
'world library' Instead of being self-sufficient, each library,
from the small public library to the large research library, must
find ways to put materials from this 'world library' into the hands
of its patrons and must stand ready to supply materials from its
own collection to others, both quickly and cost-effectively through
interlibrary loan. It explores the critical questions for making
resource-sharing work, with particular emphasis on interlibrary
loan. Cooperative collection development, economic decision models,
consortial arrangements, copyright dilemmas, and the possibilities
of technology are explored and a national project to revamp
interlibrary loan and document delivery is described and future
directions posited. Authors present historical perspective, explore
the future, and report from multiple perspectives.
