It is impossible and not feasible for a library to acquire all documents demanded by the users. It will be imprudent to spend budget on buying an odd request for a document from a noncore subject field. In such cases the library should depend on the resources of other libraries. The stray demands of users can be fulfilled to some extent by entering in to Inter Library Loan (ILL) agreement with DELNET member libraries.
