“…When Pederson and Gregory looked at options for Iowa State University they came to the conclusion requests would be ordered in the following queue: Iowa libraries, libraries with consortia agreements, UMI Article Clearinghouse, a document delivery vendor, other libraries, and finally foreign libraries. 6 Our site visits confirmed many states have a strong intrastate system. Examples of such systems include OhioLINK in Ohio, ILLINET Online in Illinois, Regents and KICNET in Kansas, Galileo in Georgia, and Minitex in Minnesota and the Dakotas.…”

“…Our sample, which was biased towards the sciences, did not agree with these findings. Pedersen and Gregory[15] suggest an approach that is more similar to the one taken by SIUC, that while vendors cannot serve as a replacement for interlibrary loan, they can provide an alternative source for retrieving materials.…”

The Southern Illinois University at Carbondale (SIUC) Library, which is a member of the Association of Research Libraries with holdings exceeding 2,000,000 volumes and current serial subscriptions numbering more than 14,000, intended to serve a constituency of 25,000 graduate and undergraduate students and 5,000 faculty and staff. Documents how in fiscal year 1990, financial exigency resulted in the cancellation of 1,241 serial titles at the library for a saving of US$233,322.80. Describes how a review of the titles cancelled revealed a high percentage of international subscriptions; thus a major concern of librarians and local scholars was the potential impact that these cancellations might have on the availability of these materials for research. Shows how the SIUC interlibrary loan (ILL) staff has attempted to make the cuts reasonably transparent to the user by tapping traditional and non‐traditional sources to fill the requests produced by these cuts; such that in 1993 ILL made a commitment to integrate document delivery (UnCover, British Library Document Supply Centre, UMI and others) into its standard routines. Assesses the full impact of the cuts four years after the cancellation project. Examines the impact of the 1990 serials cancellations on ILL and the ILL response. Analyses ILL serial requests for the cancelled titles generated during a six‐month period in 1994, looking at availability through document delivery suppliers, cost of acquiring the articles, turnaround times and impact of ILL workload.

“…The study concluded that none of the services individually carried the range of journals necessary to compensate for reductions in the national library services, although the services had a greater potential application in the more specialised libraries. Other studies have examined the cost and performance of document suppliers: for example, Pedersen & Gregory (1994) compared six suppliers accessible through OCLC. Collection-based document delivery suppliers and selected services they support.…”

There has been a proliferation in commercial electronic document delivery services. Over the past few years this consistent growth, combined with enhancements to existing services, has made it difficult for librarians to keep abreast of the latest developments and service availability. This paper presents an overview of document delivery services and suppliers, and provides discussion on the various types currently available. The paper is further divided into non-collection-based services, collection-based services and specialised collection-based services. Detailed information about particular services has been collated and presented in tabular form: this includes information regarding cost, delivery time, subject field and full contact details.
