Summary/Abstract: Today the price of information is one of the most discussed and controversial concepts in library marketing. Problems as the price of information, tax introduction or service payment are not at all simple, having more and more complex implications. They have caused even certain confusions in libraries, especially at the management level because these institutions' authority doesn't know how to deal with this one and passes sometimes from one extreme to another, from free services to entirely paid services. This article tries to bring some clarifications, concluding that the solution would actually be in between, that is payment for some services and free provision for others.
