I have sent a similar message to other listservs (mostly library
related) and someone suggested querying this listserv.
Regarding copyright compliance...
- As a borrowing library, I may request only five articles
(published w/in the last five years) per year from any given title.
Is this true? I was under the assumption that the five article limit
applied to each subscription, so that when library A had reached the
limit in borrowing from library B, library A could then request up to
five more articles from library C. Is this a false assumption?
- As the lending library, I have any obligation to monitor whether
an institution has exceeded sitution 1 (above). Is this a fair
assumption?
- If a borrowing library has exceeded the five-copy rule (if
the first assumption in situation 1 is, in fact, true), to whom are
royalty fees generally paid (Copyright Clearance Center? the publisher
directly?) What is the average per-copy royalty fee?
I am not a subscriber to this listserv. Please respond to me directly
or copy your response to me.
Thanking you in advance and best regards,
Mike Monkman (mmonkman%onondaga.bitnet[_at_]cunyvm.cuny.edu)
