Document supply today in Serbia: counterpoint to copyright
Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to describe the developing constraints on the use of commercial electronically published material and in contrast the development of the open access movement. This and the situation for interlending and document supply are seen through the perspective of Serbia.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper takes a historical and descriptive approach.
Findings
Open Access is increasing in value for researchers, especially those for whom budgets are very tight. Document supply is becoming more constrained by the electronic and technical advances that have been made by publishers.
Originality/value
This is the first article in English to describe the global situation on these matters from a Serbian perspective. It also offers insights into the situation in Serbian libraries today.
