[ILL-L] copyright fees for patrons

[Document Delivery]

I've heard that libraries enter their CCC bills quarterly or monthly and pay through them, I haven't heard of a yearly sum, though some libraries might do it once a year I guess.

This opens up a whole other question that I have never completely understood the answer to – and that is copyright fees in general.  We follow the rule of no more than 5 articles from the same journal title published in the last 5 years.  When we’ve gone over that, we’ve gone to the copyright clearance center and paid for the additional use required.  We’re small, though, so that’s only happened once.

I hear mention of other libraries keeping track and just paying a yearly sum to cover their use.  How does THAT work?  I was under the impression that before you went over the accepted level of use, you needed to pay for copyright clearance.  The CCC website has ALWAYS confused me.  What are your policies for tracking and paying for copyright?

I think you’re right, I think she’s referring to the borrowing side,

I am confused about lending libraries charging for copyright.  As a borrowing person I keep up with what we owe in Copyright and pay it every Jan. to the Copy Right Clearing House and others. I have been taught that it is the Borrowings responsibility not the Lending’s.  What am I not seeing or understanding.

Happy Friday All,

We are re-evaluating our policy on our fees, both IFM and copyright.  Currently, we have our IFM max cost set at $25 for the Main Library and $30 for the Science Library.  This excludes any additional costs such as copyright.  How much you are willing to pay in copyright fees for your patrons?  Do you have a set amount per patron?  Department?

All responses all welcomed.  Please send off-list.
