“…Between AY 2005 and AY 2008, when EWU was adding large numbers of full-text journals, there was a steady decrease in the number of articles delivered through ILL. A similar trend was seen by Williams and Bailey (2007), when Auburn University implemented a link resolver which facilitated access to full text. In AY 2008, the year ILLiad was implemented at EWU, there was an increase in the number of articles delivered.…”

“…Williams and Woolwine (2011) similarly found a positive correlation between the presence of a link resolver and the number of ILL requests. Williams and Bailey (2007) found evidence that the implementation of a link resolver led to a decrease in ILL requests for locally-available items. However, neither Frank and Bothmann (2007), Williams and Woolwine (2011), nor Williams and Bailey (2007) incorporated OpenURL clickthrough data in their analysis.…”

However, neither Frank and Bothmann (2007), Williams and Woolwine (2011), nor Williams and Bailey (2007) incorporated OpenURL clickthrough data in their analysis. Two studies that have incorporated clickthrough data and ILL use statistics in the analysis of user behavior are Stengel (2004) and Stowers and Tucker (2009).…”

“…Bollen and Van de Sompel (2008), in an ambitious study, gathered OpenURL clickthrough data from the entire California State University system for a period of about a year and nine months and used the data in the creation of a usage-based journal impact factor. Studies of user behavior with regard to ILL services have employed a variety of types of data over the years, including locally compiled ILL request data (Chmelir, 2005;Foote and Person, 1995;Page and Kuehn, 2009;Williams and Bailey, 2007;Williams and Woolwine, 2011), survey instruments (Frank and Bothmann, 2007;Porat and Fine, 2009), locally tabulated circulation data (Munson, 2006a), data from user account settings in ILLiad (Herrera, 2003), and OCLC resource sharing statistics (Leykam, 2008). Some studies have begun to incorporate the OpenURL resolver as a dimension in the study of user behavior with ILL. Frank and Bothmann (2007), in a study of undergraduate use of ILL, found that use increased with the implementation of an OpenURL resolver and that three out of four ILL requests by undergraduates began from the link resolver.…”

Purpose -This paper's purpose is to describe an investigation of whether the addition of an interlibrary loan link as an option in the OpenURL link resolver menu has an effect on interlibrary loan requests for articles. Design/methodology/approach -Four years of link resolver clickthrough data were analyzed in conjunction with ten years of interlibrary loan article request data. Findings -The data showed that requests to ILL increased at first, then fell, and then rose again. There is a correlation between link resolver clickthroughs and ILL requests. Research limitations/implications -This paper employed data gathered over a longer time period than previous research on this topic and thus provides a broader exploration of the effect of providing links to ILL through a link resolver. While most OpenURL clickthrough data employed in research are gathered from the SFX OpenURL resolver, here the authors used WebBridge. Originality/value -This paper offers an example of how non-SFX institutions can employ clickthrough data to explore issues such as user behavior with regard to ILL.

“…Selected studies (Egan 2005;Williams and Bailey 2007;Rheiner 2008;Kenefick and Devito 2013;Musser and Coopey 2016;and Scott and Barton 2018) on the effects of electronic finding aids and electronic journals on ILL have demonstrated a mixed effect on quantity of ILL requests. Over the years, researchers using Google located more research as references began to appear on the web.…”

The Development of Resource Sharing, Scholarly Communication, and the Role of Publishers in the Context of Academic Libraries

Both commercial and noncommercial publishing have impacted interlibrary loan and other types of resource sharing, such as patrondriven systems, in a variety of ways. Interlibrary loan has always been a concern of publishers, with the possibility libraries would copy in "such aggregate quantities as to substitute for a subscription to or purchase" of a work (CONTU 1978). Exceptions and limits have been in place in the law and as guidelines for library copying for patrons and interlibrary loan since 1978. However, over the past five decades or so, as traditional print publications, electronic "Big Deals," licensing, and permissions have become increasingly unsustainable for library budgets, the open access (OA) movement has gained acceptance and has influenced resource sharing as well. OA materials are being used to fulfill resource-sharing requests, and researcher behavior may bypass traditional means of resource sharing altogether for greater speed and ease of access. Traditional publishing has found itself at a crossroads with the need to adapt as researchers increasingly accept new models of scholarly communication. There are plenty of moving parts in resource sharing today, and these are explored herein.
