Tom's comment is well taken. In addition, an issue that has been overlooked is one of licensure and/or copyright, for example, the Cochrane Library (and for Wiley titles in general), where the template license agreement does not permit electronic or other ILLs.

Subject: Medlib policy on ILL requests
>
Has Medlib changed its policy on using the listserv for ILL
requests? In the past the policy was that we could only do that when
we've exhausted all other possibilities; Docline, OCLC, or whatever.
Lately there seems to be ever-increasing ILL traffic on the list? If
it's now open season to do ILLs I'd like to know so we can avail
ourselves of this service.
Thanks.
Tom
