The Greater Western Library Alliance has also successfully 
transitioned away from the "print out and send" ILL for the past 
several years.

Requiring "that the lending library print out a copy of the
article and use that to initiate the loan" was more common in the
past than present, even though it is still pretty common.  I am
wondering why the library community in general still can live
with this requirement that was written in the 1990s.

Can we save some time and trees by getting rid of this 1990s
"printing out" requirement?

CARLI, the academic library consortium in my state of Illinois,
seems to be doing just that with all publishers.  See P. 3 for
Interlibrary Loan at

Most of my newer licenses specify that methods of "Secure
Transmission" (such as Ariel...) for the practice of Interlibrary
Loan according to CONTU guidelines etc. are acceptable.

If not, I ask them to add that language into the document. It
never hurts to simply ask.

This exists in at least 80% of my vendor contracts.  As they
expire and new ones are drawn up I ask them to add it.

Basically we are no longer accepting generic licenses so easily.

It is a bit of a pain to get this through the University Lawyer
but we're working on improving that, too.

Personally, I think this is an unnecessary inconvenience, but
we're still able to make the loan."
