Collette Mak, Director of Library Products for INCOLSA, has given us some informative statistics about PALNI's InterLibrary Loan borrowing and lending patterns over five months in late 2005 and early 2006.

In terms of ILL borrowing, the data shows that all PALNI libraries combined borrowed 33,390 items through OCLC ILL during the five month time period. Here is the summary of who PALNI libraries borrowed from overall.

For PALNI's ILL lending, the statistics show that PALNI libraries combined lent 21,712 items through OCLC during the five month time period. Here is the summary breakdown of who PALNI libraries lent material to.

For some reason, the numbers for PALNI borrowing from other PALNI libraries do not match the PALNI lending to other PALNI libraries, so I'm not quite sure what's going on there.

The raw data is included in the attachments. NOTE: Evidently, the five-month reporting period was October-November, 2005, and February-April, 2006, and excluded the presumably slow months of December and January.
