Dear all The LIHNN Inter-Landing and Document Supply group has published the latest Protocol for Inter-Lending & Document Supply for the North West Network. (Nov 2008). The document should be cascaded to all staff working in ILDS and incorporates procedures for using the North West OPAC (NWOPAC) for sourcing items for Inter-Library loans. http://www.lihnn.nhs.uk/lihnn/sigs/interlending&documentsupplygroup/ILDS %20Meetings.html There is also a NW ILL trends document which covers activity from 2003/04 to 2007/08.
