Being a depositary library as the second national library of the country, the University and National Library of Debrecen has become one of the biggest lending libraries in domestic ILL due to its special position. The library has more than 600 partner libraries, that send their requests in different formats. The number of the requests sent electronically (via the National Document Supply System (NDSS) or e-mail) has been growing over the years, in 2002 those came to 72% of all the requests.

With the constantly growing number of the requests quick processing is possible only with keeping up-to-date, accurate and easy to handle records. The local ILL records, which handle both the incoming and the outgoing ILL requests, have been developed by the Informatics Department of the University and National Library of Debrecen according to the librarians' demands. Requesting libraries are being informed about the current status of their requests. The records are connected with the NDSS, therefore data input becomes simple. Statistics can also be compiled with the system.
