Libraries, ILL, and Copyright

Our government library is open to the public during normal working hours. In the past, in addition to our traditional ILL, we have allowed free photocopying to outside patrons if they provided an ILL form for each item they copied. For anyone else, we had a pay copier.

A decision was made that is was too much hassle to collect money from the pay copier, and so now all our machines are free to users. Several people from outside companies, who formerly came with ILL slips, feel that there is no more need for ILL slips. There is a copyright notice on each photocopier and the patrons make their own copies.

Are there any copyright violations that we are not seeing?

Thanks.
