Abstract

Addresses the effect of the anticipated near‐future change from print‐on‐paper to electronically published journals on the way in which users will pay for access to authors’ work. Compares two methods of payment: “just in case” ‐ like the current subscription; and “just in time” ‐ payment at the time of use. Takes the view that each type of access will need to generate its own share of the revenue needed to keep the information source economically viable. Raises the question: if payment for access to tomorrow’s electronic product can be fine‐tuned in this way, why can this not also be done for access to yesterday’s print‐on‐paper journals?

Abstract

This review is based for the most part on conference proceedings. It begins with a look at recent developments in interlending in Australasia, with a comparison of interlending statistics, and papers from a resource‐sharing conference in New Zealand reporting Australian and New Zealand interlending practice. Unresolved attempts to define an interlending plan for Australia are discussed together with the present situation. Two delegates' papers at a conference in Western Australia report contrasting developments there. Turning to the UK, four papers from an interlending conference consider the current UK situation, financial aspects, the end user's view and future development of interlending. Finally, a world‐wide collection of ‘proceedings’ is reviewed, dealing with different interlending systems in the UK, FRG, GDR, USA, Netherlands, Denmark, Sweden, China and the European Communities' DOCDEL project, with particular reference to Patent information in Germany and the TRANSDOC project in France.

Abstract

Addresses the proposals regarding payment by users for electronic access to published material, put forward in the opinion paper titled “Paying for scholarly communication: the future as a guide to the past”. Warns that this paper argues against the continuing tenability, in an electronic environment, of the current legal exceptions to copyright, namely “fair dealing” and the so‐called library exemptions, suggesting instead that, in return for explicit rights from publishers, the existing rights of individuals and libraries conferred by these two exceptions should be lost. Rejects as unacceptable any such change to existing UK copyright law.

Abstract

Purpose

To describe the part played by Maurice Line in the use of survey evidence and performance information in the management of academic libraries, commencing with the publication of the “Parry Report” in 1967.

Design/methdology/approach

The Parry Committee found little practical evidence in 1963, and had to commission some work. Two studies carried out by Line at Southampton University were available, and this and other work by Line featured significantly in the committee's work. The emergence of Line as a major figure in the development of academic and research libraries, the further development of the use of an evidence‐based approach to the management of academic libraries, and the links between these two factors are outlined.

Findings

The advance of Line's professional career was accompanied by a substantial output of highly‐regarded professional writing, which incorporated original thought and an evidence‐based approach to a degree which was unusual for that time, especially from somebody in a relatively junior post. The paucity of similar work prior to 1970 is outlined and the development of the empirical approach, especially through the work of the newly‐founded Library Management Research Unit (LMRU) is described. The 1976 report of the Atkinson Committee is portrayed as confirming the importance of evidence for the future management of academic libraries.

Originality/value

Sketches the early stages of a career which has had a profound impact on the development of academic and research libraries since 1960.

Abstract

“Corporate planning” is the term which, perhaps more than any other, epitomises the adoption of business management techniques by the public sector. In Britain, with massive local government reorganisation in 1974, many librarians were forced to come to terms with such techniques whether they liked it or not. Of course, in its purest sense corporate planning applies to the combined operation of an entire organisation be it local authority, university, government department or industrial firm. However, in this paper I do not intend discussing “the grand design” whereby the library is merely a component part of a greater body. Rather, it is my intention to view the library as the corporate body. It is a perfectly possible and very useful exercise to apply the principles of corporate planning, and the management techniques involved, to the running of a library or group of libraries. Indeed, many librarians have already done this either independently or as their part in the corporate plan of their parent organisation.
