Fw: electronic or microfilm for ILL?

["Sally Morris" <sec-gen@alpsp.org>]

The model licence drawn up jointly between UK publishers and universities
(see http://www.alpsp.org/licensing.htm) includes this provision. The
thing that really worries many publishers is the electronic distribution
of articles.

>We're under a big space crunch here, plus our staff would like electronic

>Accordingly, in order to comply with electronic licenses and to deal

>subscriptions for ILL, I was thinking of subscribing to both electronic

>ILL if I haven't bought the print version?
