ILL & New Nature Publishing Group License Agreement



Hello,

I am interested in learning if any of you have been successful in changing the ILL clause in Nature Publishing Group's new 2006 license agreement? If so, what language was used.

The language that they currently want is:

"(f) reproduce single copies of individual articles from the Licensed Material in hard copy print form for distribution without charge in hard copy form (but not electronically) to individual libraries of not for profit, non commercial organizations in accordance with fair usage guidelines. No right or licence is hereby granted to any person provided with such a copy to copy or otherwise deal with that individual article."

The language that I want (and currently have in my 2001 license agreement with NPG) is:

"(f) 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 (17USC Section 108. "Limitations on exclusive rights: reproductions 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."

Thanks so much for your help.

Joan
