Abstract

A library requiring items on interlibrary loan has several alternative sources of supply, at any rate for some categories of material. For example, with serials, locations can be looked up in BUCOP and application made direct; or there may be a local or subject union list that can be used in the same way; or requests can be sent to the British Library Lending Division (BLLD). For English‐language monographs, especially British, there is a choice between the regional system and the BLLD. For most other categories of material, including foreign language monographs, there is little alternative to the BLLD, though there may be other small systems available in certain subjects and regions.
