ABSTRACT

Fees for services in 58 academic law libraries are reviewed using results from a national questionnaire and interviews with law library staff. Five fee-based services were investigated: printing, document delivery, reference services, unaffiliated borrowing, and library 182access. The primary factors influencing fees include: the reason for the fee, the type of services, geographic location, and whether the law school is private or public. Additional factors include the receptiveness of the student body to the fees and the impact the fee may have on fund-raising. Libraries should consider reevaluating fee policies based on the data presented. [Article copies available for a fee from The Haworth Document Delivery Service: 1-800-342-9678.
