Design/methodology/approach – An international survey was deployed using SurveyMonkey, an online survey tool, and distributed through various electronic resource sharing discussion lists and personal contacts with international libraries. Findings – The 2011 survey aimed toward international libraries revealed similar results to those of the Committee’s 2007 survey of US libraries. Most international interlending participants both borrow and lend materials internationally. Further analysis will be done focusing on barriers to as well as identification of common practices in international interlending. Originality/value – This research provides the most recent survey of international interlending practices and will yield potential methods and activities for improving resource sharing globally.

    Going Global: An International Survey of Lending and Borrowing Across Borders
    (2011-09-19) Baich, Tina; Weltin, Heather
    In Fall 2009, the ALA RUSA STARS International ILL Committee published “Lending and Borrowing Across Borders: Issues and Challenges with International Resource Sharing” in the Reference and User Services Quarterly, which was the result of a survey of U.S. libraries that participated in international lending and borrowing. Building on the findings from the U.S. survey, the Committee conducted an international survey of libraries regarding international interlibrary loan issues in 2011. This paper will focus on the preliminary findings from the survey and areas of concerns raised by international suppliers. Comparing the two surveys, the report will focus on similarities across the world for international interlibrary loan, and ways to improve resource sharing globally.
