[ILL-L] borrowing entire issues one article at a time

[Koveleskie, Judith]

Since the copyright guidelines limit the number of articles that you can
borrow from a single issue, this should limit what they can get unless
they spread their requests among several different libraries.

Dear Colleagues,

How do you address systematic borrowing from a single journal issue?  We

have cases where a journal publishes an issue on a specific topic that 
is of interest to a patron.  The patron then requests many if not all of

the articles in the issue.  Our ILL policy lists "entire issues of 
journals" under "what cannot be borrowed."  But our patrons are getting 
around that by requesting single articles.  I'm concerned that this 
would be a violation of copyright.  But I'm also wondering how much 
effort I should expect my staff to expend watching for such "abuses."   
Or should I be more explicit in our policy? 

Please share your solutions and ideas.  Thanks in advance.

Nora
