“…Bollen and Van de Sompel (2008), in an ambitious study, gathered OpenURL clickthrough data from the entire California State University system for a period of about a year and nine months and used the data in the creation of a usage-based journal impact factor. Studies of user behavior with regard to ILL services have employed a variety of types of data over the years, including locally compiled ILL request data (Chmelir, 2005;Foote and Person, 1995;Page and Kuehn, 2009;Williams and Bailey, 2007;Williams and Woolwine, 2011), survey instruments (Frank and Bothmann, 2007;Porat and Fine, 2009), locally tabulated circulation data (Munson, 2006a), data from user account settings in ILLiad (Herrera, 2003), and OCLC resource sharing statistics (Leykam, 2008). Some studies have begun to incorporate the OpenURL resolver as a dimension in the study of user behavior with ILL. Frank and Bothmann (2007), in a study of undergraduate use of ILL, found that use increased with the implementation of an OpenURL resolver and that three out of four ILL requests by undergraduates began from the link resolver.…”

Purpose -This paper's purpose is to describe an investigation of whether the addition of an interlibrary loan link as an option in the OpenURL link resolver menu has an effect on interlibrary loan requests for articles. Design/methodology/approach -Four years of link resolver clickthrough data were analyzed in conjunction with ten years of interlibrary loan article request data. Findings -The data showed that requests to ILL increased at first, then fell, and then rose again. There is a correlation between link resolver clickthroughs and ILL requests. Research limitations/implications -This paper employed data gathered over a longer time period than previous research on this topic and thus provides a broader exploration of the effect of providing links to ILL through a link resolver. While most OpenURL clickthrough data employed in research are gathered from the SFX OpenURL resolver, here the authors used WebBridge. Originality/value -This paper offers an example of how non-SFX institutions can employ clickthrough data to explore issues such as user behavior with regard to ILL.

“…Sin embargo, aunque el PI sea cuantitativamente menor que otros servicios, su impacto cualitativo es muy alto, ya que los usuarios valoran mucho poder conseguir un documento que no forma parte de la colección de su biblioteca. En 1994 el consorcio OhioLINK fue el primero en ofrecer el préstamo interbibliotecario bajo una modalidad innovadora (Munson, 2006 Cuando se inició el servicio y durante bastantes años se dio la misma prioridad en servir a una institución consorciada que a otra externa al consorcio. Esto cambió en 2009 cuando se acordó que las peticiones que se recibían de bibliotecas del consorcio y de las demás instituciones colaboradoras del CCUC tenían prioridad respecto a las demás uso de un mismo sistema de gestión integrada permitieron a las bibliotecas extender el servicio de préstamo no sólo a la colección propia sino a todas las de las demás bibliotecas.…”
