Inter-library loan - definitions

Here is the draft wording which a couple of the PA/JISC working party
members came up with - please bear in mind that it is not (yet!) an official
part of the 'model licence'.   It is, of course, written from a purely UK
standpoint as it stands (though it would not be difficult to broaden the
references to applicable copyright legislation).   We'd be most interested
in any comments.

Inter-library loan

Paper-to-paper Inter-Library Loan (permitted under Sections 37-44 of the
Copyright Designs and Patents Act, 1988, as amended by any subsequent
Statutory Instruments) - the provision (whether by post, fax or secure
intermediate electronic transmission), for purposes of reasearch or private
study, to a user at another library, of a paper copy of a paper original of

Paper-to- paper Document Delivery - the provision (whether by post, fax or

any subsequent Statutory Instruments.

to a user at another library or elsewhere, of a retained electronic copy of

Electronic-to-paper Document Delivery - the provision (whether by post, fax
or secure intermediate electronic transmission), to a user at another

specific document.

(Comments)

Paper-to-paper ILL would be a Permitted Use in all licences (for clarity,
I've only used the term ILL for that which the Copyright Act currently
explicitly permits).   All other kinds of DocDel would be optional (square
brackets in licence terms).

Internal redistribution to other authorised users within the licensed site
should be covered separately.
