Abstract: The Northeast Academic Science Information Center (NASIC), a program of the New England Board of Higher Education which was initially funded by the National Science Foundation, represents an attempt to apply on a regional basis the concept of brokerage or wholesaling to the provision of computer-based information services. The center expects to be run in a business-like fashion and to be self-supporting. Some of the functions envisioned are market studies, promotion, personnel training, aggregation of demand, and document delivery. Of great importance is the establishment at each university of an information services librarian, who would be the interface between the suppliers and users of information services. The development of demand and the subsequent economies of scale should permit NASIC to be self-sustaining. After bibliographic and abstract services are achieved, the actual delivery of documents is the next goal. (WH)
