“ingenta Institute to Report Research Study Results”
From the article, “The ingenta Institute will soon convene two meetings to present the findings from its yearlong, in-depth research project, endorsed by the International Council for Scientific and Technical Information (ICSTI). The ingenta Institute was established in 1999 as an independent not-for-profit research foundation to sponsor original research about issues affecting the scholarly information process. It is funded by, but wholly independent of, ingenta, Inc. The institute�s 2000�2001 research project explored the relationship between journal subscriptions and document delivery, as well as the impact of online delivery on article distribution. Two previous studies investigated issues relating to online database searching and to distance and lifelong learning.”
