I completely agree that there is a need to look at this area and can see where the constraints are, but one other associated issue is the big loss recorded by the DIT in terms of access to journals for the library. There seems to be a variety of approaches to the issue taken by some of the colleges. The amount of their own material to which they have access also varies. It seems that some of them do better than others. There may well be a higher cost being paid. It might be a better approach to do it in a more collaborative way. Is this something that can be addressed in the overall context or is it separate?
