Organised jointly by the National and University Library, Ljubljana

Call for Papers
 
The 7th Interlending and Document Supply International Conference
continues the tradition started in 1988. Each of the previous conferences
have attracted almost 200 delegates from 40 different countries. 
 
Co-operation with other players has always been crucial to effective
interlibrary loan and document supply. Traditional partners in resource
sharing have always been other libraries, and more recently, commercial
document suppliers.  Increasingly, however, the boundaries between
traditional interlibrary loan and commercial electronic access are
becoming less defined, and the work of the ILL department brings it into
contact with a range of other players: publishers, of course, but also
rights organisations, library consortia, and developers of technical
systems and services.  In other areas, the services offered by the ILL
department may overlap with those offered by archives, book distributors
or repository libraries.  As well as providing an update on emerging ILL
trends and challenges and taking a look at current practice, this
conference aims to look beyond traditional document suppliers to include
services offered by other resource providers.
 
Theme: Providing access through co-operation
 
The Programme Committee invites papers from all those engaged in the field
