Six years of statistics on interlibrary lending and borrowing among basic unit health sciences libraries in Michigan are examined to determine the effect of the availability of an automated interlibrary loan system, DOCLINE, on interlibrary lending volume and patterns within Michigan. A trend analysis projection of expected volume is made and the predicted value compared with the actual value following the adoption of the DOCLINE system. Interlibrary loan (ILL) volume is tested to see if yearly volume increases are statistically significant. The number of libraries changing from net lender to net borrower or the reverse after the adoption of DOCLINE is tracked. Results fail to support the expectation that DOCLINE would produce major change in ILL volume or pattern.
对密歇根州基层健康科学图书馆六年的馆际互借统计数据进行了研究，以确定自动化馆际互借系统DOCLINE的可用性对密歇根州馆际互借量和模式的影响。对预期借阅量进行了趋势分析预测，并将采用DOCLINE系统后的预测值与实际值进行了比较。对馆际互借（ILL）量进行了测试，以查看年借阅量的增长是否具有统计学意义。跟踪了采用DOCLINE后从净借出馆变为净借入馆或相反变化的图书馆数量。结果未能支持DOCLINE会使馆际互借量或模式产生重大变化这一预期。
