The Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery & Electronic Reserve provides a forum for the presentation of pure and applied research results, discussion of best practices and review of literature regarding all aspects of library resource sharing. While other journals in reference services and academic librarianship occasionally publish articles on interlibrary loan or electronic reserve, this unique journal publishes more than half of all articles on these topics. In addition to traditional resource sharing topics of interlibrary loan and electronic reserves, the journal encourages submission of scholarly papers regarding document delivery, cooperative collection development, shared virtual library services and digitization projects, library consortia, networks and cooperatives as well as other multi-library collaborative efforts.

Of particular interest are articles regarding new models and emerging technologies for resource sharing, cooperative training ventures, and shared storage facilities. Solutions for special problems found in medical, music, law, government and other unique types of libraries are also relevant to the journal's readers.

 Peer Review Policy: All articles in Journal of Interlibrary Loan, Document Delivery, & Electronic Reserve have undergone editorial screening and peer review.
