Document delivery Websites

Document delivery is a fast-changing practice, being highly subject to economic and technological developments. The FIDDO project, supported by the UK Electronic libraries Programme, has as a major objective to supply relevant and up-to-date information to library managers in this dynamic field. This review of Websites concerned with document delivery aims to contribute to that objective. The review identifies a selection of the more important Websites that might be used by a library manager, and supplies a review of each from both practitioner and academic perspectives. The Websites reviewed include indexes of document suppliers, reports of research projects, system developments and national initiatives, and professional sites. The scope of the review is worldwide, although a specific effort has been made to include sites based outside the USA.
