[ILL-L] ? Very Low Number of New Lending Requests (especiallyjournals) ?

[Zheng Ye (Lan) Yang]

Many libraries join Rapid ILL system and articles are submitted via that route.  This could also be a contributing factor for low number of lending journal requests.

We've noticed lower-than-usual numbers as well.  We've been thinking that it was in part due to the rise in full-text databases.

Joe,



We have been experiencing the same here at SAC.  We usually get a lot
more this time of year.



Sincerely,

Sue

Hi,
     we've a had a suspiciously low number of new journal requests
coming through in the past two weeks.
This seems strange to me, as this is usually the beginning of one of our
"peak seasons" for lending. 
If anyone has been experiencing the same problem lately, or has any idea
why this may be, please let me know.

Thank You,
     ~Joe
