[ILL-L] copyright fees for patrons

[Craig, Bette]

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.
