A new microcomputer system streamlines interlibrary loan operations by automating billing and statistics. This interlibrary loan management system significantly reduces processing time for library staff.

Area of Science:

  • Library and Information Science
  • Medical Informatics

Background:

  • Traditional interlibrary loan (ILL) processes can be time-consuming and labor-intensive.
  • Manual compilation of statistics and billing for net-lending departments presents significant administrative challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and describe a microcomputer-based system for managing net-lending interlibrary loan operations.
  • To enhance efficiency in generating billing invoices and statistical reports for ILL services.

Main Methods:

  • Development of a user-friendly system using DataEase database management software on IBM PC compatible hardware.
  • Implementation of features including user menus, help screens, and flexible parameter modification for library staff with limited computer experience.

Main Results:

  • Significant reduction in time for logging-in procedures and compilation of monthly, quarterly, and annual statistics.
  • Successful automation of monthly billing invoices and comprehensive statistical reporting.

Conclusions:

  • The developed automated interlibrary loan management system effectively streamlines operations in a net-lending department.
  • The system's design prioritizes ease of use for library staff, improving overall efficiency and data management.
