标题:Elektronik Dergilerin Üniversite Kütüphanelerine Ekonomik Etkisi : İran Temel Bilimler İleri Araştırmalar Enstitüsü Kütüphanesi Örneği / The Economic Impact of the Electronic Journals on University Libraries : The Case of Iranian Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS)
摘要:The objective of this study is to answer the following conjecture: If
Iranian Institute for Advanced Studies in Basic Sciences (IASBS) Library subscribed to the electronic versions of journals instead of their
printed copies, its budget and space problems would be eased.
To prove this hypothesis we compared various expenditures
(subscriptions, mailing, control, binding and archiving) of both printed
and electronic versions of journals that IASBS Library subscribed to in
2002. We found that if IASBS Library had subscribed to the electronic
versions of journals instead of their printed equivalents, the Library
would have decreased the total expenditures in its overall material
acquisition budget by 13%.
