Ann (and everyone else) I realise this is rather a facetious response to what is presumably an actual problem - I think some of the rest of you have realised that too (thanks Simon). Apologies for any offence caused. What I mean is, I personally do not think there can be an "accepted estimated expansion rate" for a repository. it depends on your collection policy and what is actually out there, particularly if you look after your own institution's archives. Each repository should therefore calculate its own probable expansion rate based on some kind of "market research" of its user/depositor group.
