[ILL-L] Chapter from an e-book?

I would check the license with the Publisher first.  You might not have
purchased redistribution rights.  Do you also own a paper copy.  PCC's
interpretation of copyright law allows me to use the electronic copy as a
convenience.

Subject: [ILL-L] Chapter from an e-book?

 

How do you handle ILL requests for a chapter from an e-book?

 

We've had numerous requests to borrow e-books, and we Just Say No.  But we
just had an ILL request for a chapter from an e-book.  It's an e-book we
"own" (purchased from NetLibrary) rather than lease (or whatever the
terminology is), and it's a 19-page chapter from a 311-page book, so
presumably it's "fair use."  Should it be safe to print this chapter out and
send it?  (We don't charge, if that makes any difference.)

 

Thanks!
