Why not contacting the publisher with a request on using multiple copies for the journal club? Would that become too expensive?? greetings from Amsterdam, Suzanne Bakker Centrale Kanker Bibliotheek Het Nederlands Kanker Instituut tel. 020 512 2597 fax 020 512 2599 website: http://research.nki.nl/library ________________________________ From: UK medical/ health care library community / information workers [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Huss Lesley Sent: Friday, April 15, 2011 1:59 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Copyright query - multiple copies Hello, We're hoping someone might be able to help with this copyright question. Someone has ordered a journal article; it's not available within the NHS so we've obtained it from a non-NHS source. It transpires that our user wants to use this article for a journal club. Since it's not from an NHS library and therefore not covered by the NHS copyright licence, she has signed a copyright declaration form for it. She is planning to get all the other members of her journal club to come to the library to order a copy of this article too. But the copyright form they'll all be signing says "no other person with whom I work or study has made or intends to make, at or about the same time as this request, a request for substantially the same material for substantially the same purpose". We are using the text from the BL copyright declaration form, but can't quite believe that this would make it impossible for them to use the article for a journal club. Does this same restriction apply to articles from all other non-NHS libraries? If so, what is the legitimate way of getting hold of sufficient copies for a journal club? Thank you for any help or advice!
