interlibrary services

Interlibrary services enable libraries to share resources, allowing patrons to access books, journals, and other materials that may not be available directly from their local library. Through interlibrary loan, a library can borrow items from partner institutions on behalf of its users, expanding their access to a wider range of materials. This system enhances the availability of resources, promotes efficient use of collections, and supports research and learning by connecting libraries across regions or networks. In essence, it’s a collaborative way to improve access and serve the diverse needs of library users more effectively.
