Strokes)

OCLC/Borrow Direct ILL Study
• What numbers of borrows and loans has each
institution executed in each of the various resource
sharing venues in the past 5 years?
• What factors determine the requesting method or
model used for each request?
• How is all this changing over time?
• How will it most likely change in the future?
#1:Total sharing activity is going up.

Next steps/further study
• Interview each Borrow Direct ILL unit
• Validate numbers
• Chart interactions via OCLC as new members
joined Borrow Direct
• Look at fill rates
• Isolate returnables and non-returnables
• Overlay other variables on sharing data
• Repeat study with the CIC
• Report out
