Interlending and document supply: a review of the recent literature: 80

Purpose - The paper's aim is to provide a review of the literature concerning interlending and document supply and related matters. Design/methodology/approach - The paper is based on the reading of over 150 journals, as well as monographs, reports and web sites. Findings - The Finch report in the UK recommends the Gold route to open access and with this a tipping point would appear to have been reached for open access - at least where authors are funded. More papers from the 12th ILDS conference are reviewed. Originality/value - The paper represents a useful source for librarians and others concerned with interlending and document supply as well as such related matters as resource sharing and open access.
