-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 In a recent online discussion, librarians are discovering that Elsevier's policy for its electronic journals requires inter-library loan requests to be printed, then scanned back into the computer to be delivered.
To recap the workflow: the *digital article* should be *printed* and then *digitized* for electronic delivery. Per Charles Bailey, | Since, in the U.S., print journals are owned, are subject to the | "first sale doctrine," and are covered by long-standing CONTU | Guidelines, libraries have not had to generally grapple with complex | ILL issues for them; however, e-journals from major publishers are | licensed, licenses are publisher-specific, and the terms of the | license agreements determine if and how ILL can be performed.

Elsevier is the world's largest publisher of medical and scientific literature, publishing ~2,000 journals. - -- Gavin Baker http://www.gavinbaker.com/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] Beer is proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy. ~ Benjamin Franklin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHyfGxtLXQdLhFpekRAu/MAJ4z4MYA7QKhtt5wsnsO77TBXEaEAgCfaT9o 4cp4TYHISBh/16faLJcSF5Q= =hgYi -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://freeculture.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss
