Abstract:

In the year 2000 Iceland gained nationwide access to 4,000 e-journals, another 3,500 in 2001 and over 500 since then. Thus, the population of Iceland has been given the opportunity to access full-text articles of over 8,000 journals, most in the field of science, technology and medicine (STM) via the Internet. This paper tells the history and the effects of the nationwide access to e-journals on remote document supply (RDS), both at The National and University Library of Iceland (NUL) and in Iceland generally. At 27 percent in 2002, NUL has the most RDS of any library in Iceland.
