Title

  • Study of the Surface Delivery of Library Materials in Illinois, 1997

Description

  • An essential ingredient in the successful resource sharing among libraries in Illinois has been the ability to physically deliver books and other library material between all types of libraries to satisfy the needs of library users in the state. This has been accomplished through a surface delivery system made up of two components: (1) the Illinois Library Delivery System which has been variously referred to as the Intersystem Library Delivery System and the Inter Library Delivery System but will be referred to as the Illinois Library Delivery System or ILDS for the remainder of this Report, and (2) the delivery services operated independently by the twelve Regional Library Systems which deliver library materials between their respective members and redistribute materials from libraries in other regional Library Systems as received from ILDS. These will be collectively referred to as the Regional Library Systems' Delivery services for the remainder of this Report.
