摘要

A method and system for allowing a user to locate, select, purchase and receive delivery of small unit research information involving using an interface device, connected to an electronic and/or communications channel(s), to access a research item information system. To enable purchase of small unit research information the invention provides access to elements to allow purchase transactions using micropayment transactions. Micropayments for small unit items provide a mechanism for keeping the cost of transactions low and thus allowing for electronic purchase in small denominations. Upon purchase the system manages the delivery of purchased small unit research information from its electronic and/or communications channel(s) location.
