Abstract
The ‘holdings versus access’ dilemma encouraged the University of Leeds Library to undertake a project to compare the costs of periodical subscription and inter‐library lending. This article provides a brief synopsis of the project, which paid particular attention to calculating a cost for qualitative variables linked to ‘wait time’.
