[ILL-L] copyright vs. fair use problem--help please.

[Document Delivery]

I don't think you have a copyright problem, since you can put a book on reserve, but you would have to say in the request that the book is intended for the reserve collection for a certain period of time, I think, Ed.

A faculty member has requested some short stories that we don't own to be put on reserve. My dean wants me to get them via ILL. He thinks that it would fall into fair use because we'd only do it once and only the students in the class would access them.

I have two problems with this:
1. Since they are short stories it would be the ENTIRE work
2. I'm not sure we should ou them on reserve since we don't own them.

Therefore, I am asking the collective knowledge of this list. What are your opinions on this? Is this an instance of fair use or not?

Please reply directly to me since I only get the digest and this is somewhat time-sensitive.

Thanks in Advance,
Karen
