Abstract

Analysis of unfilled interlibrary loan lending requests at the University of Notre Dame showed that 35% were for volumes not owned by the library. The library had not maintained accurate holdings records in the Indiana Union List of Serials since l983. Incomplete and inaccurate holdings statements resulted in poor fill rates that could only worsen with time. A project to update union list holdings was launched in the spring of 1996. The project is expected to go on for five years, but the fill rate already begins to reflect the results of the corrections made.
