Libraries Can Relieve Budget Pressures Through Assessment of External Document Delivery Supply, Reports New White Paper by Reprints Desk
SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 1 -- Relieving budget pressures on libraries and information centers can be done year-round rather than during once-a-year budget reviews and is most easily initiated by evaluating external document delivery services and configurations, according to a new white paper by Reprints Desk. Reprints Desk, the content workflow company, today announced the online availability of the white paper entitled 'Relieving Information Center Budget Pressures Through Document Delivery Cost Reduction & Workflow Re-Configuration: A Guide to Enterprise Self-Assessment' at http://goo.gl/VlOa.
"The most important message in this white paper for information professionals is to take your destiny - both library and career - into your own hands by being pro-active in areas that you can exert control and wield your expertise for the benefit of your organization," said Robin Holmes, the researcher and author of the white paper. Holmes was commissioned by Reprints Desk to author the white paper. She compiled the paper using industry briefings from Outsell, Inc. and other trade-focused publications, interviews with library managers and information professionals, and by sharing her own experience from her previous employment at Johnson & Johnson (J&J), ALZA Corporation, and Jazz Pharmaceuticals.
Document delivery services are commonly used by corporations, academic institutions, and government organizations, in order to retrieve full-text articles from scholarly peer-reviewed journals - often for research purposes. Document delivery is considered to be a top deliverable and "an integral part of content delivery that is crucial to satisfying a client need" for librarians and information professionals, according to a 2008 information industry briefing entitled 'Document Delivery - Best Practices and Vendor Scorecard,' by information industry analyst and advisory firm Outsell, Inc.
