[ILL-L] copyright

[Sensel, Nancy]

That's how it works.  One thing more to be aware of when copying an article from a journal or a chapter from a book, you have to decide if the thing being copied is the "heart of the work".  For example, one of the news magazines printed an excerpt from Gerald Ford's autobiography before the book was available to the public.  It was the chapter on why he pardoned Nixon.  They got nailed for copyright infringement under Fair Use.

Subject: [ILL-L] copyright

During the discussion recently about libraries sending whole books when a chapter or article is requested, someone mentioned that the law might say '10% or one chapter, whichever is less'. As far as I can tell, this is for reserve items: I looked in the US Code on copyright, and it just said that a researcher is entitled to to "no more than one article or other contribution to a copyrighted collection or periodical issue...", so I think they can send just the article within copyright (agree?),
