[ILL-L] Doc del for organization members?

[Anderson, Freya N (EED)]

In general, I think that specifying that copying is NOT for research may
cause difficulties.  Even if articles don't relate to your patrons work
or studies, who is to say it doesn't relate to something that they are
studying on their own?  
 
In terms of document delivery itself, we put limits on the number of
articles we will provide from each issue.  If the patron requests more
articles, we will usually provide them anyway, but we pay copyright
clearance.  If it's a few articles here and there, it should fall under
fair use, but we don't want to copy enough, without clearance, for it to
be considered systematic.  It's frustrating, sometimes, since we have
paid for the journals, and if the patrons came in a read them at the
library, it would all be free.  However, many of our patrons aren't in
the same location as the library, so that isn't practical.  We are
trying to work around this by getting more titles in electronic format,
when we can.

I have repeatedly attempted to post a lengthy message to this list,
unsuccessfully.  My test posts work, but not the real message.

So I will try a shorter approach.

To what extent can a non-profit organization provide document delivery
copying from books in their research collection (@1700 titles) for
organizational members' personal (not research) use?

Guidelines?  Policy documents?

Detailed information available for those who would care to engage is a
discussion of the topic.

Thank you in advance.
