The Effect of a Large-Scale Photocopying Service on Journal Sales

Line, Maurice B.; Wood, D. N.

Journal of Documentation, 31, 4, 234-45, Dec 75

It is concluded that economic difficulties experienced by journal publishers and the increased demand on the BLLD are unrelated, though both owe something to the economic pressure on libraries.
