The National Resource Sharing Working Group was established by the National Library of Australia to ensure that a robust, reliable and cost-effective interlending system, built on cooperation and agreed service standards and policies, is in place to serve Australian libraries and their users. The working group receives strong support from the peak industry bodies, the Council of Australian State Libraries, the Council of Australian University Librarians, the Australian Library and Information Association and the Australian Library Collections Task Force. Its membership is made up of leading interlending practitioners from all library sectors.

The group is currently planning the eighth Interlending and Document Supply International Conference <www.nla.gov.au/ilds/index.html> and is continuing to develop strategies for improving document delivery in Australia.
