Abstract: With the latest progression of information communication technologies, the document delivery system is constantly changing its trait day by day. This paper discusses the current practice of interlibrary loan and document delivery service by some leading libraries and information centers in various parts of the world. Moreover, it explores into newly developed resource-sharing tools that are becoming viable in execution of ILL services.

Interlibrary (ILL) loan services supplement libraries’ collections by obtaining
materials needed for research, scholarship and private study that are not
available at a user’s home institution. Research and academic libraries place ILL
requests on behalf of faculty, staff, and students for returnable items (e.g., books,
audiovisual items, microfilms) and non-returnable items (e.g., copies of journal
articles, conference papers) usually to obtain material out of scope for the

ROCKEDBY THE MOUNTING shock waves of the explosion of the material and service expectations of the library user, the practitioners of interlibrary loan in the traditional manner are digging in behind their policies. As a consequence, one of the most important, implied obligations of the library-providing the most effective access to information-is slighted, as the borrower will not and cannot borrow and the lenders will not lend. Interlibrary loan is a technique by which one library lends material indirectly to an individual through another library.

Copyright and interlibrary loan Sharing materials between academic libraries, whether lending or borrowing, is critical to meeting the content needs of patrons. Many interlibrary loan (ILL) transactions involve sending or transmitting materials such as journal articles and photocopies that are not returned. While U.S. copyright law addresses non-returnables, there are some areas that still present challenges for librarians. Section 108 of the Copyright Act of 1976 addresses reproduction of copyrighted materials by libraries and archives for several purposes, including ILL.
