LILRC Interlibrary Loan Manual: January, 1976

"LILRC Interlibrary Loan Manual: January, 1976" by the Long Island Library Resources Council is a handbook from the 1970s explaining how libraries in Nassau and Suffolk counties could share books and other materials. The main point is to give libraries rules for borrowing and lending items to each other so people could get access to more information. The guidebook goes over the proper steps for requesting loans from other libraries, how to handle those requests, and how to make sure the information is correct. It stresses how important it is for libraries to work together smoothly, explaining what can be borrowed, how the loan requests go through the system, and the roles of both the library borrowing the item and the library that is lending it. To make the process work better, it also gives libraries forms, worksheets, and advice on how to be more organized. This manual's main goal is to improve library service by helping people easily get the materials they need.
