Follow the Interlibrary Loan Implementation
Task Force activities on the Interlibrary
Loan Study Task Force blog. See links to the charge,
member roster, fact sheet and more information on task
force activities. The Task Force is charged to evaluate
the models described in the Texas
Resource Sharing Study and to suggest possible
pilot projects.
TSLAC commissioned the Interlibrary
Loan Study as a follow-up to the Himmel
and Wilson Study on Public Library Development.
The Interlibrary Loan Study presents six different
models for improving ILL in Texas.
We encourage discussion and
invite feedback from the library community and invite
everyone to comment on the study. Leave comments in
