OCLC book interlibrary loan in a basic-unit hospital library: one year's experience.

Methodist Medical Center of Illinois Medical Library, a "basic-unit" medical library (i.e., not a resource library) in the Regional Medical Library Program recently completed one year of borrowing and lending books using OCLC. Of the books successfully borrowed through OCLC, 79% were obtained from nonmedical libraries. Forming cost-sharing OCLC clusters among basic units makes OCLC an affordable alternative to borrowing books from overburdened medical resource libraries.

Cost-performance analysis of TWX-mediated interlibrary loans in a medium-sized medical center library.

The need for a cost-performance analysis of TWX-mediated versus mail-mediated ILL requests is presented. Three hypotheses are proposed: (1) Unit cost for TWX-mediated ILL requests is greater then for mail-mediated ILL requests; (2) Completion time is shorter for TWX-mediated ILL requests than for mail-mediated ILL requests; (3) An analytic model can be developed that can be used to generate administrative data concerning a TWX installation. The data presented support all three hypotheses. It is shown, also, that through the use of this model a library can arrive at a cost for service of TWX versus mail-mediated ILL.

Meeting the urgency for document delivery in clinical medicine.

A Document Delivery library project was designed to improve delivery of information to health professionals in the Washington DC/Baltimore area. The project goals were to enhance delivery of full text documents and accelerate interlibrary loan services. The aim was to provide direct library services in the clinical arena by facilitating access to the articles needed by practitioners and clinical investigators. The objectives were to (1) design, develop and implement a comprehensive Document Delivery System (DDS) for the Library Information System (LIS) which included interlibrary loan, photocopy services and facsimile transmission capabilities; (2) establish a multi-university Library Knowledge Network for resource sharing; and (3) evaluate the project. The DDS and facsimile service are described and project data and outcomes are reported. Today, the participating libraries can use electronic means to share interlibrary loans. Georgetown users have responded favorably to the DDS and Fax services.
