Document delivery refers to the supply of journal articles and other document copies for research purposes to the local library, coming from other libraries or direct from publishers.
Interlibrary loan (abbreviated ILL, and sometimes called inter-loan, document delivery or document supply) is a service whereby a user of one library can borrow books or receive photocopies of documents that are owned by another library. The user makes a request with their local library, which, acting as an intermediary, identifies owners of the desired item, places the request, receives the item, makes it available to the user, and arranges for its return. The lending library usually sets the due date and overdue fees of the material borrowed. Although books and journal articles are the most frequently requested items, some libraries will lend audio recordings, video recordings, maps, sheet music, and microforms of all kinds. In many cases, minimal fees accompany interlibrary loan services
