Document Delivery in Digital Age

Abstract

With the advent of the Internet and electronic publishing systems, new ways of delivering scholarly information have arisen which challenge some of the traditional systems made for document delivery. Document Delivery bridges the gap between the customers and the document. Libraries have to offer user friendly access to hybrid collections, and design and implement document delivery mechanisms from paper originals to provide a seamless integration between delivery from electronic and paper articles. This paper explores how that role is changing to embrace virtual holdings and electronic document delivery.
