Abstract
As an Interlibrary Services (ILS) department in an academic library, we originally set out to find what sources from which to borrow government documents. We found instead that our library already has most of the requested publications, although library users believe most of their publications cannot be found here. A survey of Interlibrary Services requests for the summer of 1997 through the summer of 1998 showed that most of the government documents requested through ILS were located in the library, but published before 1976; others were government-funded technical reports that did not appear on the online catalog. A variety of paper indexes were used to locate these publications. Without these indexes, many of these publications would have been difficult, if not impossible, to find.
