The article presents a case study about the relationship between public libraries and universities and colleges. William Madison Randall Library provides informational resources and services for the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Wilmington, North Carolina. UNC Wilmington is a comprehensive university that enrolls approximately 11,000 students, including more than 950 graduate students, and there are over 600 faculty. During the summer of 2002, the Associate University Librarian for Technical and Collection Services and the Assistant University Librarian, Access & Delivery Services met to discuss how collaboration between Interlibrary Loan (ILL) and Collection Development activities could enhance library services. The assumption was that ILL book requests represented patron needs, and therefore should be in the collection. A review of recent ILL book requests revealed that most were very relevant to UNC Wilmington's curriculum, and would be good candidates for a collection development project. At Bucknell University, Perdue and Van Fleet in 1999 describe a project that was designed to enhance the collection and reduce the ILL workload. The main goal at UNC Wilmington was to obtain ILL materials quickly and to enhance the collection, rather than to reduce the ILL workload. |
