Access to Journal Articles: A Model of the Cost Efficiency of Document Delivery and Library Consortia.

Kingma, Bruce R.

Proceedings of the ASIS Annual Meeting, v31 p8-16 1994

Presents an economic model to analyze the cost efficiency of access to journal articles via three alternatives: journal subscriptions, consortium membership, and commercial document delivery. Results show cost efficiency is based on the value of future journal use, costs of delivery and subscriptions, and the value of time to patrons. (Author/LRW)
