The Document Delivery: Best Practices and Vendor Scorecard report updates the document delivery landscape that was last reviewed in Outsell’s 2008 report – vendor performance, the evolution of vendor offerings, and current document delivery practices and issues in the marketplace, The vendor scorecard was created using results from a September 2012 survey, which drew 156 respondents: 68% from the corporate sector, 14% from government, 13% from education, and 5% from healthcare.

Document delivery services are commonly used by corporations, academic institutions, and government organizations as a legal method for retrieving single copies of full-text papers from scholarly peer-reviewed journals that they do not subscribe to. Academic institutions are increasingly using document delivery when a quicker alternative to interlibrary loan (ILL) sharing networks are needed. Also relied on heavily for making ad-hoc decisions about adding new journal subscriptions throughout the year, the 2012 Outsell report states that document delivery is widely considered “still a bedrock service” for information professionals that help their organizations fuel innovation through more efficient information acquisition and access.
