AROUND THE WORLD: To THE BOLOGNA, ITALY CENTRAL LIBRARY

摘要

An Internet-based Document Delivery Service (DDS) has been developed at the Research Area of Bologna Central Library within the framework of the CNR (the Italian National Research Council) Project BiblioMIME, in order to: 1. take advantage of new Internet technologies; 2. promote cooperation among CNR and Italian university libraries; 3. reduce DDS management costs; 4. achieve short turnaround times in satisfying DD requests. The CNR Research Area of Bologna Central Library is a multidisciplinary scientific library serving a community of about 800 researchers among staff, PhD and undergraduate students, and visitors. The state of the art Document Delivery Service at the Library shows more than 4,000 documents exchanged per year with the other 300 Italian scientific libraries.
