Postwegzeiten der Offline-Prints von computerisierten Literaturinformationsdiensten: Erfahrungswerte aus drei österreichischen Informationsvermittlungsstellen

摘要

The data from three Austrian intermediary services, collected since 1981 and concerning the delivery time of offline prints from 15 online vendors, was analysed. It is shown that geographical distance and host-specific criteria were the main influencing factors. Breaking the host data down into regions the results indicate a two-day timelag for offline prints from US hosts in comparison with European hosts.
