[ILL-L] copyright fees for patrons

[Craig, Bette]

We don't charge patrons copyright, the library pays for that.  We have a fund set up to pay Faculty charges for loans and articles at this time and we pay the first $5 of a student's charges and ask them if they will pay the balance before we order.  We try to get most of our things free first. We are a free book lender and we belong to LVIS and some other groups to help with this. Also we belong to a group that pays a set fee for a courier for most of the libraries in and around Texas which really helps on postage and time in delivery.

Bette,

Lending libraries do not charge copyright.  My question, as the borrower, is how do you handle copyright fees for your patrons?  Currently, we will pay any IFM charge + the copyright fee for our patrons up to a set amount.

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.
