Abstract
A survey of interlending activities in Dutch-speaking Belgium was taken in order to cordinate future developments. Data on a broad range of topics were collected. The processing of numerical data is outlined. The figures must be put in perspective, due to the presence of estimates. The investigation remains however the first serious attempt to get an overall picture of interlending in Flemish libraries.
