describe how librarians can introduce, maintain, and improve
global resource sharing. They overview international borrowing and lending and define the concept of
global resource sharing, then describe the history of interlending; current issues; using the business techniques of PEST (political, economic, social, and technological) and SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) analysis to identify factors influencing international interlibrary loan; and practical aspects such as the requesting process, locating a lender, catalogs, shipping, fees and payments, statistics, and issues and challenges; ending with case studies from various countries.
