Networking Library Services: Experience With The Electronic Library Store, Richard Widdicombe

Proceedings of the IATUL Conferences

In 1993, when the library at Stevens Institute of Technology in Hoboken, NJ became the first to stop all journal subscriptions there was fear among the faculty and intrigue in the library community world-wide.
