Abstract
Since 1985, library patrons have had the ability to request that books and photocopies be delivered from any of the 18 Rutgers University libraries in New Brunswick, Camden, or Newark, to a nearby Rutgers library. Recently, the service known as the Materials Delivcry Service (MDS) was enhanced to allow users to place book requests without having to completc a paper form or even enter a library. By using a PC and modem or a direct connection to the university's campus-wide information network, a request can be placed from home, office, dorm room, or in the library. When using the new electronic MDS, users search a modified version of IRIS (thc Libraries' Geac on-line catalog) or the Innopac acquisition system for the books they need. The system is unique in that thc book requests are made in the on-line catalog and in the acquisition system; no worksheet is needed for bibliographic information.
