Abstract
Commercial document supply and full‐text online databases play significant roles in the shift from “ownership” to “access”. The escalating costs of science and technology journals, budgetary constraints, and availability of sci‐tech literature via non‐traditional sources, such as commercial document supply and full‐text online databases, are reshaping academic libraries’ sci‐tech collections, as well as the modes of accessing and delivering scientific information. Examines the value and the effectiveness of commercial document supply services and full‐text online databases in accessing sci‐tech information and discusses the impacts of budgetary limits and technology on academic libraries acquiring sci‐tech literature.
