Booklist Review

This third edition of a book originally edited by Virginia Boucher brings together seven chapters authored by nine U.S. university librarians. Providing a history of interlibrary loan (ILL) with a focus on the U.S., followed by the basics of ILL, the work continues by addressing work-flow basics, copyright, management, technology, and Web 2.0. The volume ends with a chapter about the future of ILL. Intended for those new to ILL but not necessarily new to librarianship, the volume is a down-to-earth introduction to all aspects of the process in any library. Individual chapters have notes and references listed, although the work would benefit from a compiled list of references. Examples and samples make this useful as a textbook as well as a handbook for those working in an ILL setting.--Marcus, Sara Copyright 2010 Booklist
