ABSTRACT

In this session, there were two presentations covering the same subject from different points of view. The main conclusions are that document supply is a viable alternative to journal subscription and interlibrary lending for an academic library; document supply is generally used sparingly to supplement existing collections; and document supply is not a threat to journal subscriptions. The two studies–one for a particular university, the other analyzing summary data for multiple publishers and two document supply services–reinforce each other’s conclusions.
