Electronic Document Delivery through Library Co‐operation : A Trial Using SuperJANET and Future Possibilities
Abstract
The SuperJANET document delivery pilot project was conducted between five major research libraries in order to investigate the feasibility of a library‐to‐library service using the RLG Ariel system. Although the project was small scale, no insuperable technical problems were revealed, but the pilot demonstrated the need for improvements in co‐operative structures if such a service were to be established on a regular basis. The principal defect to be remedied is information about the holdings of other libraries. It is anticipated that such a library‐to‐library service would be most cost‐effective as a value‐added urgent action service.
