Document delivery and interlibrary lending in the Arab countries

Examines efforts currently underway in Arab libraries to establish a formalized document delivery system across the regions, taking advantage of new technology and modern methods of information transmission. Argues that more data on regional and national ILL and document delivery patterns are needed, and the possibility of establishing national and regional clearing houses, as well as exploring verification and location tools. Concludes that progress is being made,albeit somewhat slowly, but there are no easy answers to some of the questions raised.
