In addition to what Brenda said, in the UK, educational establishments are allowed to make more than one copy for educational purposes. For example, in the university library we made up to 5 copies of a magazine article/book chapter to be read in the library by any number of students up to around 100. This had the added advantage of reducing the amount of theft/mutilation of library materials by students desperate to get their hands on reading list material. I believe many (most?) of the students photocopied the photocopies so that they had their own copies to refer to outside the libraries. As the photocopiers were always some distance from library staff no one monitored this. I should add that we bought multiple copies of basic texts for restricted borrowing. Schools have permits to copy certain materials for classroom use but I don't know how that is arranged. Patricia in Wales scotl...@aol.com
