Title

Priced business information services from the public sector : will they succeed?

Source

IFLA journal. 16(1990) no.2, S.220-230

Year

1990

Abstract

Looks at the position of priced information services within publicly funded libraries and information units, with particular emphasis on the UK. Priced information services are defined as services which involve an information officer or librarian searching in printed, on-line or other sources to answer a specific enquiry, and requiring a fee for that search (which may or may not cover costs). After examining the current position and trends, looks at the growth of private sector information services and debates their likely impact on the overall availability of information to the public.
