My Introduction to VIVA ILL
August 6, 1996 ILL meeting at James Madison University
convened by Dennis Robison
I was overwhelmed by good will, cooperation, thanks
My Question
How had the ILL folks kept ILL secret
from me and most of the librarians I had been hanging out with during my first 26 years as a librarian?

• ILL patterns vary widely, even among libraries of the same type
• Better understanding of ILL depends on comparing data across different institutions
