摘要

The study examines motivations behind the decisions by libraries and individuals to subscribe to or cancel scholarly and research journals. Through the distribution of four questionnaires, specific answers were sought concerning specific decisions made during the past year. Individual New Subscribers were questioned as to reasons for their decision to subscribe, their length of readership, and the ways they learned of the journal and came to consider it important. Individual Cancellers were asked for the reasons behind their decision to cancel, their continued use and means of access to the journal, their awareness of alternative access as a factor in their cancellation, and potential factors which might prompt resubscription. In particular, individuals were questioned about the impact of library policies and availability of library copies on their decisions to subscribe or cancel. Library New Subscribers were asked whether this was a new subscription, a resubscription, or a duplicate copy, factors which prompted the decision, and the perception of permanence of the new subscription. Library Cancellers were asked about the type of subscription cancelled, the forces which impelled the decision, and the influence of library network and consortia policies and availability of the journal on Interlibrary Loan as factors in the decision to cancel. They were also asked to report frequency of borrowing since the cancellation, and to estimate the probability of resubscription.
