Digital materials are acquired mainly via the University Libraries' consortium, FinELib. The older and less used printed materials are collected in the National Repository Library. Modern technologies and logistic solutions are used in ensuring the effective end‐user services. Thus each library can make its own strategic collection policy decisions based on these national services.Research limitations/implicationsBased on conditions in Finland.Practical implicationsGives an example of a national collection policy and co‐operation.Originality/valueProvides a model to be tested and developed for collection policy decisions.
