A Model of the NELINET Computerized Interlibrary Loan System: Testing Strategies for Load-Leveling.

Wolper, James; Trudell, Libby

Journal of Library Automation, v11 n2 p142-51 Jun 1978, Jun78

A mathematical model of a regional interlibrary loan system was developed as a tool for the design and evaluation of a strategy to equalize the load of Interlibrary Loans (ILL) of libraries in the system. The load-leveling capability of several algorithms for representing each library's ILL activity was tested. (Author/VT)
