  • Negotiating the Digital Library: Document Delivery.
    Education for Information, 1999
    Co-Authors: Neil Jacobs, Anne Morris
    Abstract:

    Academic literature, the raw material of scholarly work, is an important resource, and one to which the various actors and groups within the university have differential access. One means by which this access is mediated and controlled takes the form of technology, and it could be argued that the technological librarian is both participant in and arbiter of contesting claims on this resource. Hence the librarian has a key role in deciding between the final resource access outcomes as they are made durable in the physical and virtual arrangements that make up the library. Within the rapidly changing field of Document Delivery, the eLib funded FIDDO Project aims to provide library managers and others with reliable and relevant information to support policy decisions. The FIDDO project has interviewed senior librarians about the future of Document Delivery. The interviews have been transcribed and analysed with the support of the NUD*IST software package. The findings address some of the issues raised above as they relate to various possible models of Document access, and so contribute toward an understanding of how the winners and losers will come about in any new set of arrangements for Document Delivery.

  • Document Delivery Websites
    Interlending & Document Supply, 1999
    Co-Authors: Neil Jacobs, Jenny Chambers, Anne Morris
    Abstract:

    Document Delivery is a fast‐changing practice, being highly subject to economic and technological developments. The FIDDO project, supported by the UK Electronic Libraries Programme, has as a major objective to supply relevant and up‐to‐date information to library managers in this dynamic field. This review of Websites concerned with Document Delivery aims to contribute to that objective. The review identifies a selection of the more important Websites that might be used by a library manager, and supplies a review of each from both practitioner and academic perspectives.The Websites reviewed include indexes of Document suppliers, reports of research projects, system developments and national initiatives, and professional sites. The scope of the review is worldwide, although a specific effort has been made to include sites based outside the USA.

  • Library-subsidized unmediated Document Delivery
    Library Resources & Technical Services, 2001
    Co-Authors: Michaelyn Haslam, Eva Stowers
    Abstract:

    Throughout the 1990s, libraries experimented with subsidizing end-user unmediated Document Delivery as a means of expanding collections, offering faster service, and lessening demands on interlibrary loan. An ongoing project at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, is presented here to evaluate whether or not providing the service met expectations. For the most part, unmediated Document Delivery served to enhance collections and users appreciated the service. Since those who preferred to order articles themselves were not necessarily interlibrary loan users, workloads and costs associated with interlibrary loan were not diminished.

  • The use of electronic Document Delivery at INIST
    Vine, 1994
    Co-Authors: Christian Lupovici
    Abstract:

    Despite its relative youth, INIST has rapidly become an important player in the Document supply scene both in France and internationally. The article describes INIST's digitisation process, which commenced in 1990. The aim is to provide around 45% of total Document Delivery from the electronic store, although currently only half this figure is provided, for reasons outlined. The future of Document Delivery is considered: cooperation with publishers is needed for experimentation with ‘real’ electronic publishing.

  • subsidizing unmediated Document Delivery current models and a case study
    The Journal of Academic Librarianship, 1995
    Co-Authors: Minna Sellers, Joan Beam
    Abstract:

    Abstract New models for Document Delivery in libraries are emerging as technology enables end-user ordering through electronic interfaces. Recently Colorado State University (CSUL) tested the viability of providing subsidized unmediated Document Delivery to the entire university community using UnCover2. The project was analyzed and users were surveyed to evaluate the performance of the service.
