The British Library Document Supply Centre is developing an automated request processing system to keep track of its more than 3.25 million requests a year. Not only will any of the 12,000 libraries which use the Centre be able to place orders online (via the existing ARTTe1 service), but they will be able to check, online, for the response to their request. The Centre now has 200,000 journal titles, 3 million books, and nearly 4 million other items.
