Needs

• Google Scholar“The availability of online information resources, available through subscription-based online library databases (e.g., InfoTrac, JSTOR, PubMed) and on the open Web (e.g. government sites, Wikipedia, Google Scholar) has significantly changed college level research. Today’s college students need to develop keen research competencies and strategies for tapping, evaluating, and sorting through the proliferation of information sources available to them.”

“Learning the Ropes: How College Freshman Conduct Course Research Once They Enter College,” Alison J. Head, Project Information Literacy Research Report, December 4, 2013.

• We need to have licenses that allow lending of electronic materials.– Faculty– Students

Legal Questions?

• Question: Does copyright law allow for electronic books to be shared with other libraries?

• Question: Can I lend electronic journal articles?

RKA20140619-8

Copyright Law vs. Copyright Law

• Section 108 of the Copyright Act– Allows a library to copy and send to another library portions of copyrighted

materials as part of its ILL service, provided the "aggregate quantities" of copied items received by the borrowing library do not substitute a periodical subscription or purchase of a work.

“Put another way, there has been no transposition of the first sale doctrine into the digital sphere. As a result, the first sale doctrine does not apply to licensed copies. By definition, a digital book or sound recording or image is not owned by the licensee. Libraries do not own their copies of ebooks, at least not in the same sense they own their copies of printed books. The ability of libraries to provide their patrons with access to an ebook is conditional upon their ability to adhere to the license terms”

CONTU Guidelines

• A borrowing library limits requests to no more than five articles from the most recent five years of a specific journal.

• Libraries either pay copyright royalties after the 5th article is requested, or subscribe to the journal.

Functions as reassurance to copyright holders that ILL will not replace periodical subscriptions and book purchases by libraries.
