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

[Document Delivery]

Recently I found out, I think it's correct, that you can't get more than
one article from a single issue of a periodical for the same patron
without paying copyright, so I've tried to borrow some issues, and I've
paid some copyright. It's only happenned 4-5 times this semester, Ed.

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
