I suppose one thing that's wrong with the picture is that
it makes no allowance for the supply of documents by
inter-library loan/document supply - which currently
usually means the supply of a photocopy of an article,
typically within about five working days in the UK, and
will be effected increasingly by electronic means in
future, thereby significantly shortening supply times.
This University Library supplied between 30,000 and 40,000
documents last year by this method, notwithstanding
financial constraints. Shouldn't this feature in your
picture?
