Purpose ‐ The purpose of this paper is to describe the document supply service of the Czech National Library and its use of OCLC in supporting the service. Design/methodology/approach ‐ The service is described in detail and placed in the context of the Czech Republic. Findings ‐ The use of OCLC has increased the use of the National Library internationally in terms of both requesting and supplying material. Originality value ‐ The paper is one of the few articles in English to describe the work of the Czech National Library and provides a good insight into the use of OCLC's WorldCat for international document supply.
