Yes I agree with Colin, just check with the donor if it is purchased by them or the Trust as an institutional copy. Not sure in the situation when the journal is sent by the publisher to an individual but it was unsolicited though?

The fact of donation makes no difference in terms of observing the normal rules of copyright. Where concern can arise is whether the item had initially been acquired from the publisher as a “member’s copy” at a discounted price or as part of a package of members’ rights. In this instance the Library should not have accepted the copy in the first place.

Subject: copyright question
If I receive a request for a photocopy of an article in a journal, but that particular publication was not bought by the library – it was donated to us, are there any restrictions on copying this material, or am I right in thinking that it makes no difference, the copyright holder is the publisher, so I can go ahead and make the copies as requested?
