[ILL-L] copyright clearing center question

[Document Delivery]

It might be that the issue is in the public domain: things before 1923
at this point might be in the public domain, and don't need copyright.
You can supply the copy, as I understand it, and pay the copyright
later, some places pay quarterly, etc.

Subject: [ILL-L] copyright clearing center question

Hi all, I need input about obtaining copyright for an ILL article.

A patron is requesting a 2nd article out of a journal issue. As I
understand CCL and rule of two, a 
2nd article for the same patron out of the same issue means copyright
needs to be obtained. Date of 
issue is 1913.

I've gone to the Copyright Clearance Center and it seems pretty
straightforward to submit a 
request. I'm hoping they'll bill, because I have no credit card to use.
Does payment of copyright 
have to precede requesting a photocopy? And, may we pass the charge
along to our patron? I imagine 
I'll just keep a paper record of payment along with the ILL request.

We request a small number of articles per year and this is the first
time I've had to obtain 
copyright. And, I could be all wrong about how to go about it.

Thank for any light you can shed!

Susan
