Dear Lesley
Your only solutions are the BL copyright-cleared
option or to seek permission from the rights holder (probably the publisher)

multiple copies
Very many thanks to all who got
back to us on this one.
It doesn’t seem that there
is an easy, free way round this one. Most people recommended ordering a
copyright-fee-paid copy from the British Library, which allows you to make as
many copies as you like. Other useful suggestions included asking on
lis-ill, paying the publishers, or speaking to the publishers to see if
they’ll waive the fee.

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!
Kind regards,
Lesley
