A review of recent literature: XVI

Looks at contrasting views of the future of the British Library Document Supply Centre (BLDSC); that it will become obsolete or,conversely, grow in importance. Explores the problems of co‐operative collection development, its economics, politics and terminology in both theory and practice. Examines methods for evaluating the costs of interlending, and demonstrates the limitations of a single price structure. Shows how reciprocal borrowing is becoming an increasingly popular solution to collection development.
