Dear All,
Looking into the problems with online request forms I was asked
the other day by a senior manager if we could get around the problems of
individual signatures by getting our users to sign a blanket declaration
when they first use the service (e.g. to say that they will only request
material for non-commercial research or private study and that they will
not request the same copy more than once). My initial reaction is that
this probably isn't legal, but I wanted to see what others thought? Are
we obliged to get users to sign each request individually?
Yours,
