Opinion paper: access as a substitute for holdings: false ideal or costly reality

Abstract

Argues that the much‐advocated switch from holdings to access has serious snags where current material is concerned. Libraries should discard most of their stock of older material and provide access to more current material. This requires the existence of a centralized collection of older material available to users.
