American Documentation, 1960, vol. 11, issue 1, 32-39

Abstract: A consideration of the economic and technical problems relating to facsimile and other forms of electronic transmission as a substitute for interlibrary loans. The author finds that transmission link capacity is enormous in terms of the present volume of interlibrary loans, that electronic transmission is economically practicable only for high volume and short distances, yet the possibilities of such electronic developments offer intriguing possibilities and many intangible benefits.
