During the period 1992-1995 the library of the International School for Advanced Studies of Trieste (Italy) increased the number of delivery transactions of journal articles with Italian university libraries and with the British Library Document Supply Center. Of these, two-thirds were requested by users in the biophysics sector and the rest by users belonging to the mathematics and physics sectors of ISAS. In the same period the ISAS library fell into the category of “applicant library” rather than “provider library.” An increase in requests for photocopied articles has been caused by the introduction of the Medline CD-ROM in the ISAS library and by the enlargement of the biophysics sector of the school. The purpose of this study is to find alternative ways of providing information to internal users in the face of decreasing budgets.
