- A Feasibility Study of Centralized and Regionalized Interlibrary Loan Centers. Stevens, Rolland E. Centralization Feasibility Studies Federal Aid Interlibrary Loans Library Circulation Library Cooperation Library Expenditures Library Networks Library Planning Library Services Reference Services Regional Programs The present interlibrary loan system will need to be better organized and expanded to include centralized regional centers in order to meet the increasing volume of requests. Presently about 70% of 10 million requests are being successfully filled within regional and local systems. Two major problems of the present system are (1) unequal distribution of lending and (2) difficulty filling incomplete and incorrect requests. These will be growing problems as the request rate doubles during this decade. Present regional systems, and current literature were studied, and persons involved in interlibrary loans were interviewed during this study. Recommended is a network to be funded by the Federal Government of regional bibliographic centers, resource centers and back-up centers centrally planned, but with a decentralized service program. Methodology and an outline for a cost study are included. (Author/DH)
