I went to my state's library quite a few years ago and researched this subject, because this is about a lace resource. I wrote a paper that went to Arachne, and gave LaceFairy permission to permanently put it on her site. You need to know that if local residents and university students near you can use this service, it should be possible for you to use InterLibrary for lace research! In your country *it may have a different name*, but it should provide the same basic service. To start, your library should be able to borrow from *other libraries in your country*. VIP scholars are able to borrow from other countries through their own country's libraries. Very important in the larger scheme of things, like medical research. Australia is one of the countries that I read has agreements with libraries in other countries. You need to explain to the librarian what service you want. You may have to go there in person. Read my paper on the subject, and make a printed copy for permanent reference. Start at the most local library for advice. Develop a friendly dialogue with the librarian. http;//lace.lacefairy.com/LibraryLoan.html Wear lace, so librarian will see what you are talking about! Many of us will be interested in how this works out for you, Jenny.
