- Access to Periodical Resources; A National Plan. Palmour, Vernon E. And Others Information Dissemination Information Needs Interlibrary Loans Library Planning Library Research Library Surveys National Programs Periodicals At the request of the Association of Research Libraries a study was made to develop, evaluate, and recommend a national plan for improving access to periodical resources. The following design features were established: (1) service should be available to all users with no restrictions other than access through a library; (2) initially, service would be primarily rapid, dependable delivery of photocopies of journal articles; (3) subject coverage should be comprehensive but exclude medicine; and (4) worthwhile journals in any language should be collected. Demand estimates and projected costs were compared for three alternative plans. A single national center was recommended as the best solution and various methods of implementation were suggested. (JG)
