Several recent American articles compare the performance of library suppliers with commercial suppliers. See Miller, Connie and Patricia Tegler. "An Analysis of Interlibrary Loan and Commercial Document Supply Performance". Library Quarterly58 (4): 352-266 (1988); Kurosman, Kathleen and Barbara Ammerman Durniak. "Document Delivery: A Comparison of Commercial Document Suppliers and Interlibrary Loan Suppliers". College and Research Libraries55 (2): 129-139 (1994); and Pederson, Wayne and David Gregory. "Interlibrary Loan and Commercial Document Supply: Finding the Right Fit". Journal of Academic Librarianship20 (5/6): 263-272 (1994). No clear advantage in the use of either one or the other emerges from these studies, which show the expected large differences in cost and performance between different commercial suppliers.
