Abstract

Discusses QUARTET, the experimental project looking at the idea of a fully automatic document delivery service, able to provide users with source material on request from an electronic store. Details the ADONIS database of 219 biomedical journals on CD‐ROM which formed the primary material for the experiments. Shows that such systems are technically feasible and may have considerable benefit in providing research workers with a “just‐in‐time” information delivery service that avoids some of the inherent costs of more traditional methods.
