The MacNeal Hospital of Berwyn, Illinois, is marketing its Fast Inter Library Loans and Statistics (FILLS) software for printing ALA interlibrary loan forms and keeping related statistics. Program developers indicate that the software can save up to 40 percent of the time usually required to complete such forms. Among the reports supported by FILLS are an alphabetic periodicals title list, alphabetic library address lists, number of requests per title, total costs charged per title, number of requests per library, average return time per library, percentage fill rate per library, total average costs charged per library, and outstanding loans reports.
Two versions of the software are available: one for the IBM PC, which is compatible with the M300, the OCLCconfigured PC; and the other for the IBM XT. The software is priced at $295, plus $10 postage.
