Hi Everyone
Following on from all the current news regarding copyright could I just ensure everyone is aware of the following.
Aintree LIRC is in fact a HEI library. We are on a NHS site but as the staff are employed by Edge Hill we are not covered to make copies under the new regulations. The Explanatory leaflet states that 'your NHS librarian as a NHS employee can make copies.....etc etc'. None of us are NHS employees so the familiar 'fair dealing' applies. Please bear this in mind when applying as we will not be able to supply two articles etc and will return other requests.
Any requests made to Aintree will need a signed form. If anyone has a urgent request please ring to see if we have the exact vol, issue but before we will fax the copy, please fax us a signed declaration.
The ILL team here make requests to LIHNN for both our NHS users and staff and students of Edge Hill. We are promoting the new regulations to NHS staff so some of our borrowers will be able to apply for the extra copies but everyone here is very clear that we will not allow HE staff or students to request extra copies.
I think I will request that we are re-named Edge Hill Library and Information Resource Centre so when staff are checking the LIHNN list they will immediately remember that we are HE and can't supply under the new regulations.
Many thanks
