Get It Now has also proven to be a cost-effective tool for libraries requesting articles from certain journal subscriptions that have been cancelled due to low use or budgetary constraints.
To make the most of their budgets and increase patron satisfaction, librarians must focus on subscriptions to high-use, high-value content augmented by virtual collections—digital assets not currently part of the library’s collections but immediately available upon request from within the patrons’ discovery workflow.
Drake University’s Cowles Library turned to the article delivery service Get It Now to help reduce costs while providing students, faculty, and staff with a high level of service.
Get It Now complements ILL services by providing library patrons with immediate fulfillment of full-text articles from non-subscribed journals—24 hours a day, 7 days a week. With Get It Now, patrons can quickly get the materials they need to learn, instruct, and conduct research.
