I am often puzzled by all the requests for articles on lis-med. Do other regions not have interlending schemes like we have across south of England? We can find out whether a library from Kent to Cornwall via Bucks has a journal (members include NHS libraries, HE and FE libraries plus others such as hospice libraries) then we are members of NULJ for nursing journals and PLCS - Psychiatric Libraries Co-op Scheme. Then we go to the BL only using lis-med as a last resort. The amount of traffic on this subject does make it feel like some people use lis-med as a first resort.

The only other problem I could see, would be single-working library staff who may not be able to cope if inundated with requests.... However, we have definitely been told we are covered to copy articles for other NHS staff.....
