• Resumen

  • The use of files of offprints, original materials and small publications, as packs from which students can learn and study, has increased considerably in recent years. An analysis of the costs of such provisions is outlined. The costs relate to a particular university, but it is suggested that the range of costs should cover most similar institutions. Full details of the assumptions and the basis of the cost analysis are included, based on a limited amount of literature available on the subject and additional proposals. A considerable investment in materials and staff is involved in a service such as this. Is it worth investing in these materials?
