At the conclusion of Resources Anytime, Anywhere: How Interlibrary Loan Becomes Resource Sharing, the author asks readers to “imagine the future of resource sharing, which is less the sharing of disparate resources between libraries but more of a globally floating library collection” (130). This might seem mere fantasy, but the rapid growth of interlibrary loan (ILL) and progression of technologies used in such services makes the fantasy attainable provided individual libraries, their governing and funding institutions, and the wider public can both adjust to such a situation and find it a desirable vision.Published
