Popis: The University of Wisconsin at Stevens Point deployed a pilot program to study the viability of supplying faculty with journal content via pay-per-view in lieu of journal subscriptions. Librarians took advantage of a University of Wisconsin system pay-per-view plan with publishers Wiley and Elsevier. Journal articles were requested and delivered using modified existing interlibrary loan (ILL) software. Along with journal content, a survey was distributed to library users to measure their reaction to this manner of delivery. Users' positive reactions to the service coupled with the savings to the library prompted the adoption of this access method for a significant number of serials titles.
