In this environment of expanding information needs,rising journal cost, and curtailed financial resources, medical libraries must take advantages of interlibrary cooperation and document delivery services. There are exciting developments in transmission technology, from fax machine to scanners to the Internet. Theses changes require reevaluation of interlibrary loan(ILL) and document delivery systems on many levels, including pricing structures, work flow, and impact on collection development. As commercial vendors develop increasingly effective products, librarians can test, evaluate, and incorporate them into their ILL operations to enhance service to users and relieve the pressure to acquire new resources. In this way, librarians can move collection to the “just in case” practice of building an on-site collection to the “just in time” model of providing timely delivery of materials to users as needed.

The purpose of this study is to establish a model of interlibrary cooperation system and cooperation plans for document delivery in Korean medical libraries. An interlibrary cooperation system and plans suggested in this study will help medical libraries to share medical periodicals efficiently and relieve the pressure to acquire new resources.
