I do not think the solution is there, because according to the BLDSC manual the
library MUST obtain a signature before ADD address can be used. Understandably,
there would be no incentive at all for the user to come back into the library to
sign for an item they had already received in the post, and they would be
unlikely to post in a signed copyright form for the same reason.
At Sussex we will be moving to TALIS shortly, and next year when the interloan
operation is moved over to the new system, we shall face the same dilemma, so we
will be very interested to know if any libraries are "getting round" this one in
any legal way! Like Maggie, the return to photocopies piling up in the office
would be most unwelcome, so we are likely to disable any automated input by
users via the OPAC, which will be a shame.
