RE: Question regarding ILL

["Stuivenga, Will" <wstuivenga@secstate.wa.gov>]

Because a savvy library or consortium asks (no INSISTS) on it as part of
their licensing negotiation, and because the publisher wants to make the
sale. And because the library agrees to terms such as these (taken from
the CLIR/DLF Model License posted on the LibLicense web site:
http://www.library.yale.edu/~llicense/standlicagree.html)

Interlibrary Loan. Licensee may fulfill requests from other institutions,
a practice commonly called Interlibrary Loan. Licensee agrees to fulfill
such requests in compliance with Section 108 of the United States
Copyright Law (17 USC 108, "Limitations on exclusive rights: Reproduction
by libraries and archives") and clause 3 of the Guidelines for the Proviso
of Subsection 108(g)(2) prepared by the National Commission on New
Technological Uses of Copyrighted Works.

Subject: Question regarding ILL
Brian Simboli noted the following:

"First, independently of the whole issue of OA, we must continue to
maintain robust ILL rights and provisions."

JE:  Assuming we are talking about purely electronic publications here,
can anyone tell me why it would ever be in the interest of a proprietary
publisher, whether commercial or not-for-profit, to authorize interlibrary
loans?  I am not saying that such loans are a good or a bad thing; I am
just trying to see how it intersects with a publisher's interests.
