REPLACEMENT OF PERIODICAL SUBSCRIPTIONS BY BRITISH LIBRARY LENDING DIVISION SERVICES

Abstract

A study of 1,696 loan requests satisfied by the British Library Lending Division showed that approximately 3% are for journals that used to be taken by the borrowing library but are not now being acquired. In the light of a survey of the way librarians in the UK make decisions on journal subscriptions and cancellations it appears that they very rarely replace subscriptions by interlibrary borrowing.
