Interlending and document supply: a review of the recent literature – 54
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this article is to provide a review of the most recent literature concerning document supply and related matters.
Design/methodology/approach
Includes the reading of over 140 published works, including journals, monographs, reports and web sites.
Findings
Finds that usage statistics are still not giving a clear indication of the importance of document supply but it is confirmed that the large proportion of demand comes from a small number of titles. Institutional repositories are here to stay and expanding. Experience of e‐journals is appearing in the published literature with greater frequency with some interesting conclusions. Copyright and digital rights management (DRM) remain fraught areas.
Originality/value
Provides a useful source of information for librarians and others interested in document supply and related matters.
