Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Inter-library loan services have long been a cornerstone of academic libraries, providing access to resources beyond the physical collections of a single institution. However, the advent of full-text databases has revolutionized the way information is accessed and shared among libraries. This research project aims to investigate the impact of full-text databases on inter-library loan services in academic libraries. The study will employ a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of usage data with qualitative interviews of library staff and users. By analyzing inter-library loan statistics before and after the implementation of full-text databases, the research will assess changes in borrowing patterns, turnaround times, and costs associated with inter-library loan requests. Furthermore, the qualitative component of the study will explore the perceptions and experiences of library staff and users regarding the use of full-text databases in relation to inter-library loan services. Interviews will delve into the advantages and challenges of using full-text databases for resource sharing, as well as the implications for collection development and resource allocation within libraries. The findings of this research are expected to shed light on the ways in which full-text databases have transformed inter-library loan services. By identifying the benefits and limitations of using full-text databases for resource sharing, libraries can make informed decisions about their collection development strategies and resource sharing policies. Overall, this research project will contribute to the ongoing discussion about the role of full-text databases in the evolving landscape of academic libraries. By examining the impact of these databases on inter-library loan services, the study aims to provide valuable insights for librarians, library administrators, and information professionals seeking to optimize resource sharing practices in the digital age.
