ABSTRACT Librarians from three Kentucky public universities conducted a survey on the prevalence and success of article purchasing programs. They found that a majority of academic libraries offer article purchasing to reduce costs and expand access to resources, and most of these institutions believe their article purchasing program is successful. Libraries that spent more on article purchasing and libraries that were motivated by a desire to increase access to articles reported higher levels of program success.
