[ILL-L] Subscription Does not Allow ILL copy Royalty Copyright Fees

[Document Delivery]

My impression is that the print journal doesn't have the option of not allowing copies: the other library bought it, and you can get from the owner a certain number of copies under the fair use laws saying that a certain number of copies can be made. They can make the copyright fee for use over the rule of 5 as much as they like, I guess, though. The problem with online journals is that they aren't owned, I think one sometimes buys access rights.

Subject: [ILL-L] Subscription Does not Allow ILL copy Royalty Copyright Fees

I found out today that some print journals do not allow ILL. The print
subscription does not allow anyone who does not subscribe to them to get
articles from their journal.

I asked for ILL for several articles from this journal.

I do not want to name the journal. They are asking us for a years
subscription of over $900 because we received 2 articles over guidelines. I
just wanted to pay royalty copyright fees, not a subscription.

I think this is odd. But, I makes me also aware, that maybe I should not
ILL every request before I check the subscription for Print as well as
online.

The Journal wanted to know who filled the requests. I told them I did not
know. Odd. IT sounds like they want to go after who filled the request
also.

How do others handle this ??
