RE: Supplying electronic articles via ILL

["Chen, Xiaotian" <chen@bumail.bradley.edu>]

There is probably no disagreement among librarians that the 
restriction on E articles ILL needs to go away.  But some 
probably do not care any more, since fewer and fewer libraries 
are cataloging E journals while the percentage of E journals is 
skyrocketing.  Even among those still catalog their E journals, 
not all report to OCLC.  As a result, libraries no longer have as 
good knowledge as before on who owns which journal.

I gotta agree with Ivy Anderson's take on this . . .
disincentives to electronic ILL make the lending institution's
job harder, but that is certainly not a disincentive to the
borrower asking for an article.
