Abstract

The author briefly states the reasons that access vs. ownership is a concern in academic libraries in the United States in the 1990's. Ways of coping with increasing serial costs and computer technology are discussed at length, and examples of successful strategies are given: cooperative collection development, interlibrary loan, and commercial document delivery. Copyright issues in regards to the above strategies are also discussed. The author concludes by summarizing the key factors needed for the successful and effective resolution of the access question.
