The Complete Short Stories of Somerset Maugham Vol. 1. P & O is
29 pages and Vol. 1 is 955 pages.

This is the important question that I ask myself and the teacher: If you knew that electronic reserve is illegal, would you put the collection on physical reserve or would you require your students to buy the collection? Of course, it's important to honestly answer this question.
I think you need to have enough physical copies to cover the demand if physical reserve were used. If you would need 3 copies to cover the physical demand but only have 1, I would buy 2 additional copies before putting the item on electronic reserve.
I'm out of time. If you want more detail, let me know.
