Statistics
Each year, Libraries and Information East Midlands' member organisations collect statistics relating to inter-library loans and submit these to the Secretariat for collation. Please find below links to statistics pro-formae; interlending practitioners wishing to supply their statistics can use these forms and submit electronically or by post, as convenient.
Interlending statistics are published together with the Annual Report of the Libraries and Information East Midlands and are also used to help build up the picture of inter-lending activity across the whole of the United Kingdom.
In 2010-11, Libraries and Information East Midlands' members conducted over 77,000 interlending transactions. A full statistical report showing the recorded interlending transactions of member organisations is available from the LIEM Secretariat.
