Interlibrary loan traffic in the South West Pacific and South East Asia

Reports on a questionnaire, distributed in early 1988 to 200 libraries in the South West Pacific and South East Asia, that aimed to gather data about interlibrary loan traffic in those areas and to obtain information about the availability of union catalogues to libraries in those areas. Shows that despite a relatively low rate of response, the questionnaire produced some useful data about type and volume of ILL traffic intra – and inter – region. Concludes that libraries in the Asian‐Pacific regions need to be further developed.
