[ILL-L] Question about licensing agreement

[Susan M. Lee]

That's interesting.  Usually the licensing doesn't allow for
interlibrary loan at all.

Subject: [ILL-L] Question about licensing agreement

Hi everyone!

It's time for us to renew our licence with Oxford University Press
Journal's online package, and they want to put an odd bit of wording in
there.  They want us to track how many times we send an article from
their journals to a library, and as soon as we hit 6 in 5 years or less
they want US to pay copyright.  They say that because we now have ILLiad
this is possible.

I think they're wrong. My understanding of copyright law/guidelines that
the responsibility rests on the borrower to keep track and report to the
CCC, not the lenders.  Has anyone else heard otherwise?  Does anyone
else have language like this in your electronic license(s)?   Can anyone
recommend a way to successfully argue OUP out of this new rule?

Thank you very much for your advice in this matter.  We /really/ don't
want to agree to this, and appreciate any tips on how to get OUP to back
off.
