quickly thanthrough traditional ILL methods. Jong and Nance [7] also explored alternative methods of fillingpatron requests for materials such as direct purchasing, although they found these alternativemethods were not greatly used.Tolppanen and Derr [8] conducted an analysis of ILL activity at Eastern Illinois University,finding that graduate students and faculty submitted the most borrowing requests and 67% ofloans were borrowed only once. Munson and Savage [9] focused on Interlibrary Loan as a meansto provide students with textbooks specifically, finding that students used ILL because textbookswere too expensive but also required for their coursework. Students reported being satisfied withthe ILL service, although the study found that the fill
