Abstract

Purpose

This paper seeks to investigate the impact of the open archive initiative on the document supply of grey literature.

Design/methodology/approach

The article is based on a comparative survey of five major scientific and technical information centres: The British Library (UK), CISTI (Canada), INIST‐CNRS (France), KISTI (South Korea), and TIB Hannover (Germany).

Findings

All major document suppliers are quite deeply involved in the open archive movement, and this involvement has an obvious impact on the policy of acquisition, archiving and supply of grey literature (dissertations, reports, conferences etc.).

Originality/value

The paper is a follow‐up study of the survey published in 2006.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this article is to describe the response of the British Library to the changing environment for document supply.

Design/methodology/approach

The paper provides a descriptive analysis of the response of the British Library to the changing environment for document supply.

Findings

The British Library will shift from a high volume business focussed on current, heavily used material to a more mixed portfolio; one in which it services both demand for current, heavily used material but also and increasingly, “the long tail”.

Originality/value

The paper provides an insight into the current response of the largest document supplier in the world to the current, rapidly changing environment.
