Hi Sandra
We have an ERM module from Innovative Interfaces which allows us to store some information in our catalogue records (some available to customers, some only to Library staff). For an idea of what we make available to our customers, see our catalogue at http://lib.leeds.ac.uk/ and do some searches for journals within the e-resources scope. On the second screen, under 'View password, help, more information' you'll see what I mean. I'd be happy to chat with you some more on this if you like. It has been an absolute godsend in allowing us to keep up with varied licence conditions, with the information in one place.
Best wishes
Louise

Hi Louise
Licensing info is something we're currently trying to sort out. Can I ask how you "We keep records of the different licence terms of each publisher regardless of where we access their resources." How do you store and access them? How do you make them available to your users? Thanks Sandra

You're right on the basic do's and don'ts. Don't forget also with e-resources that most providers restrict the amount that can be downloaded at any one time, even to read on screen. 'Systematic downloading' is generally not allowed.
On coursepacks and ILL we would always check the licence terms and if necessary discuss further with the publisher concerned.
I'm not sure what you mean about authentication as any authorised user of the product should either have access to the password or be logged in to a PC within the institutional IP network. Unless they are walk-in users within the Library, where allowed ... But these are not copyright issues per se.
#If an authorised end-user does not have access to the Internet (or don't have access to their password details) but is in need of an article at that moment are you able to email/post them an electronic copy of this article?
If you can find confirmation they are a current staff or student member and the resource concerned has no restrictions on where it can be accessed (i.e. where it is not restricted to on-campus only) I'd say yes, but only in exceptional circumstances.
#When dealing with aggregators and therefore a number of potential publishers (who perhaps operate beyond your own countries law) due you just implement the terms and conditions of that publisher?
We keep records of the different licence terms of each publisher regardless of where we access their resources.
#Is there a general rule on how many copies of an article, book chapter you can make available to other authorised users?
We stick to single copies unless coursepacks and handouts are explicitly allowed. Generally we follow the JISC guidelines on fair dealing for e-publications, which was put together in the 1990s, and that is the advice we pass on to our authorised users.
Hope that helps

Subject: Copyright for electronic resources
Hello,
I am currently investigating the issues surrounding copyright for electronic resources such as ejournals and ebooks.
From what I think I have learned so far:
In general standard copyright rules that relate to print copy also relate to electronic copy.
As a general rule you may print, download, or e-mail single copies of electronic journal articles and database search results. You must not
share these with unauthorised users. You must not make multiple copies without checking the terms of the licence.
Authentication (e.g. an Athens username and password) can be used as a way of avoiding any problems with copyright therefore if you are unsure of whether you can email or send an electronic copy of an article, book chapter to an end-user you can direct them to the website and encourage them to access this themselves using their password.
I just wanted to check that this was others experience and clarify a few related issues.
If an authorised end-user does not have access to the Internet (or don't have access to their password details) but is in need of an article at that moment are you able to email/post them an electronic copy of this article?
When dealing with aggregators and therefore a number of potential publishers (who perhaps operate beyond your own countries law) due you just implement the terms and conditions of that publisher?
Is there a general rule on how many copies of an article, book chapter you can make available to other authorised users?
I obviously mostly interested in this from a UK perspective but am happy to share any feedback that I get on this matter.
Many thanks,
Derek
