This section is not especially encyclopedic, especially the use of the second person voice. I am considering re-writing it into a different format ("Common misconceptions about ILL service," perhaps?) or removing it all together. Suggestions? -- Mdresser 14:19, 27 October 2006 (UTC)
Is there an equivalent among UK libraries?
The first part of this section (with the 3 bullet points) is pretty naff. Borrowing and lending are not two operations - they are different sides of one operation. And 3 bullet points to expand on "2" operations?! I'm tempted to chop this part completely. Nurg 08:33, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
Actually, in larger departments Borrowing and Lending can be different units with some communication between them. astrobiomicrophysicist 10:32, 30 November 2008 (CST)
The explanation of the catches and important points of ILL is useful, but supposedly articels are supposed to sit in the 3rd person only. 68.39.174.238 21:17, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
I'm thinking of restructuring the article, adding some more background and deleting the 'tips for borrowers' type stuff. I'm currently thinking of a structure more-or-less chronologically based:
I'd like to do it soon but no guarantees, so if anyone has any better ideas in the meantime then go for it. Otherwise I'll put sections up as I get them done. -- Zeborah ( talk) 05:49, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to one external link on
Interlibrary loan. Please take a moment to review
my edit. If necessary, add {{
cbignore}}
after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{
nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

I'm curious about the actual physical process. Are materials sent to a distribution center, or are they mailed directly from one library to another, or what? If my own library system has a book that is currently not checked out, I generally get it in a couple of days. If it's another library system in the state, it often takes a couple of weeks or longer. valereee ( talk) 13:21, 9 February 2022 (UTC)
The first paragraph of the History section (21:15, 26 May 2022 edit) has problems with both information and tone.
The only practices it mentions are the increase in copied materials in the Carolingian Renaissance, and the rise of collateralized book lending, neither of which are inter-library loan. It has an breezy tone and unsourced assertions, like "While the borrowers during this time were usually the higher class of individuals, this practice is still used today in many library systems all over the world. The difference now is that anyone can submit an inter-library loan request."
I was going to re-write it, and then realized it doesn't contain any obviously pertinent facts. Delete? Replace with something else?
