I have recently been thinking about what constitutes a download in response to a query and would appreciate your thoughts. I thought that viewing an article online would be a download. However, while saving or printing the online version is equivalent to photocopying a printed text, viewing an article online is equivalent to reading a print version. Since excessive reading isn't prohibited, but excessive downloading is, does viewing an article online always qualify as downloading one? regards ______________________________ Ms Eileen Jamieson Serials & Information Librarian The Geological Society Burlington House Piccadilly London W1J 0BG Tel: +44 (0)20 7432 0999 Fax: +44 (0)20 7439 3470 email: [log in to unmask] ________________________________________________________________________ This email is confidential and is intended for the addressee(s) only.
