Abstract
This paper discusses Document Delivery Service and its uses in library as well as information center. Document delivery service (DDS) or document supply service “refers to the physical or electronic delivery of a document from a library collection to the residence or place of business of a library user, upon request.” Document delivery has always been heart of the services offered by libraries, publishers and other organizations to their users. Recently, there is tremendous development in electronic document delivery services. The consumer receives precise, accurate, and speedy assistance from Document Delivery Services. India’s INFLIBNETs projects are impressive. Today, this is among the most significant and excellent services available. The institution’s students, academic staff, and research researchers have all benefited from this service by saving time. Academic libraries must provide this service to their patrons and inspire others to do the same. In order to effectively convey electronic documents, impediments related to technology, economy, and society must be addressed. When a user requests specific information rather than resources in the modern IT era, DDS may be shown to be a valuable service that should be offered to them. The definition of document delivery services, their need, and their key features are the primary topics covered in this paper.
Keywords: DDS, DDC, DELNET, INSDOC, ILL, Electronic Document Delivery
