Carr, Harry And Others Comparative Analysis Interlibrary Loans Libraries Library Cooperation Library Surveys Program Descriptions Program Effectiveness Program Evaluation Regional Cooperation Regional Programs Statistical Analysis The goal of this study was to develop a means for better assessing the potential success of a regional interlibrary loan program. Descriptive information and qualitative data on funding, policies, and procedures were gathered for five regional interlibrary loan programs in New York State from three sources-- questionnaires sent to each member library, on-site visits, and a weighted sample of loan requests. A profile of population, socio-economic characteristics, and available library resources was created for each region. Quantitative data were analyzed by rank order correlation or a confidence test of significant similarities and differences. Conclusions were made concerning the impact on interlibrary loan effectiveness of three factors: (1) regional characteristics; (2) the extent and nature of regional interlibrary loan; and (3) loan processing and funding. Fourteen general recommendations were made for funding and loan processing, specific suggestions and proposals were outlined for each regional interlibrary program, and a data collection method was suggested for future performance measurement. The appendices include the regional profile. (KP) |
