Abstract
Libraries are increasingly dependent on remote document supply to fill gaps in their own collections. Budget restrictions sometimes lead to a situation in which the local collection is too small and there is over‐reliance on remote supply. Depicts a model by which a clear indication can be given for the optimal size of a local collection. Provides two examples for specific libraries. Application to other libraries is possible by changing the four parameters of the model. The model is only applicable in an environment where the quality of remote document supply is guaranteed. Presents a short description of the international document supply services of the Jupiter consortium in The Netherlands.
