Sandra and others may be interested to learn that JISC is funding RELI
(Registry of Licences) Project - this is being run by Loughborough
University and Rightscom and is due to end in Spring 2009. This will
offer a pilot registry of all the common licences, translating them into
human-readable form, usable by library staff and/or end users, with an
emphasis on who the authorised users are and what they can and cannot do
with the resource. The system will be designed to be compatible with
ERMs and library softwares.

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
