Abstract
Vanderbilt Medical Center Library (VMCL) first installed TWX in 1966, thus joining the teletypewriter exchange (TWX) network. Eight years later (1974), VMCL removed its TWX terminal, mainly as an economy measure. It is the opinion of the author that the benefits derived from using TWX for interlibrary loan do not warrant the cost of the service. VMCL looks forward to a new approach.
