Effect of ejournals on libraries

Victoria Robertson, The impact of electronic journals on academic libraries: the changing relationship between journals, acquisitions and inter-library loans department roles and functions, Interlending & Document Supply, 31, 3 (2003), pp. 174-179. Excerpt: "Academic libraries are in a transition period owing to the economic climate and the rise in the price of electronic and print journals. Libraries are tending to move from the system of acquiring journals to more co-operation and sharing of resources due to budgetary cuts and lack of space." (Thanks to ResourceShelf.)
