Re: electronic of microfilm for ILL?

["Susan J. Barnes" <sjbarnes@u.washington.edu>]

Beverlee,

Has it been necessary for you to negotiate special license agreements with
the ejournal providers that allow you to print out articles to fill
interlibrary loans?

And, are there any ejournal providers that would allow you (ie, the
California Digital Library) to fill ILL requests without printing the
article first?  That is, do any allow you to send pdfs by email, for
example?
