“…It will be interesting to see how that squares with the Google deal with AAP! The support for OA is explained partly by the comment that, "In 1990, CIC libraries spent $38 million on serials, and by 2003 serials expenditures in the CIC had risen to $93 million -and 30 per cent of the $93 million ($24.3) was spent with three journal publishers: Elsevier, Wiley and Springer" (Allen, 2008). She suggests six improvement strategies that include: "We should continue to release ourselves from the chains of the perfect bibliographic record, and we must focus on simplifying the experience for users .…”

“…One of the guiding principles of the CIC is that “libraries that sign agreements with vendors in order for those vendors to digitise material from library collections agree that such digitization will be done with the intent of encouraging open access and discouraging re‐purposing the content for sale by the vendor.” It will be interesting to see how that squares with the Google deal with AAP!

Interlending &Amp; Document Supply

Purpose -The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the most recent literature concerning document supply and related matters. Design/methodology/approach -The approach is based on the reading of over 150 journals as well as monographs, reports and web sites. Findings -Electronic books remain a minority market but the literature at least remains optimistic and readers are improving in quality and acceptability. Open access continues to grow but with continuing and widely differing views on its impact. Recent mandating decisions will mean a step change in both the creation and the growth of institutional and subject repositories. Increasing concerns are being expressed about the monopolistic implications of Google and there are some stout counter-arguments. A number of interesting articles on document supply show it to be in robust health. Originality/value -The paper represents a useful source of information for librarians and others interested in document supply and related matters.

Abstract. Approaches which enable improving the efficiency of industrial enterprises functioning in the context of forming digital economy are discussed in the article. In contrast to the traditional analysis of this problem on macro-(national economy in general, creating a favorable institutional environment for industrial development and digitalizing of economy) or micro-(development of recommendations for implementing digital technologies in manufacturing and management subsystems of industrial enterprises) levels, the authors consider a meso-level. Studies undertaken have made it possible to come to a conclusion that current digitalization of both enterprises and industry in total determines the changes of industrial cooperation models. It has been indicated that significant opportunities for effective development of industry are connected with forming integrative groups of cooperation-interactive enterprises. Such models of interaction as outsourcing, cluster and strategic alliance have been considered and their pros and cons have been revealed. Recommendations on designing cooperation interaction between industrial enterprises have been formulated. The design is oriented on improving the effectiveness of using resources and reducing risks.
