Zeitschriftenabbestellung und Docuzment Delivery



Gesundes und friedliches Neues Jahr an alle Inetbib-TeilnehmerInnen !

Im folgenden Artikel wird beschrieben, wie durch die Abbestellung von 
Zeitschriften-Abos und gleichzeitige Nutzung eines 
Document-Delivery-Dienstes in einer US-Bibliothek Geld gespart wird. 
Gibt es in deutschen Bibliotheken aehnliche Ueberlegungen, 
Erfahrungen und Meinungen zum Thema ?
Gruss aus Harburg,
