Document Delivery and Interlending Jerusalem, Saturday August 12, 2000:

"UAP seminars continue to be given, the most recent in Argentina in Sept. 1999...In response to a question about the ILL/DD infrastructure in South America, Graham [Cornish] noted that librarians are keen to be active, but the mechanics are patchy.

Peru has a well-developed on-site reciprocal usage as a way of compensating for a postal system prone to theft."
