OBJECTIVE: To identify the scientific journals asked by users, not available in Spanish libraries. MATERIAL AND METHODS: We analyzed article applications processed during the years 2012 and 2013 (a period of important budget cuts in many libraries) by the interlending services of four hospitals of the Spanish region Castilla-La Mancha, two of them university hospitals. We identified those article that could not be served through national interlibrary loan, excluding from the sample those that were not served for the following reasons: Erroneous citation or not enough data, user cancellations because of cost or journal being binded at the time of request. RESULTS: Out of a total of 19.159 requests received from our users, we identified 1.033 requests that could not be served, corresponding to 665 journal titles. Problems encountered include: • Old references not covered by current collections • References in rare languages (Chinese, Japanese ...), Only a small core of journals had a certain demand level (there were only 2 with with more that 10 requests). Among them, some titles have been identified that have been rejected by some library and obtained otherwise, usually using the lists of searches. CONCLUSIONS • We believe that the method could be extended to other libraries and would serve to identify certain gaps in our collections that could be solved cooperatively. • Given the dispersion of the titles requested, it could be more advantageous to purchase articles on demand than to subscribe to journals, but we do not have administrative mechanisms that assure us a speedy purchase. • Further updating of collective catalogs is required. • We detected some degree of "variation in practice" that influences the results. • Some requests indicated that users need some training.
