Maggie, are you speaking of electronic ILL request forms? If so, the ALA
changed the ILL protocols (etc) some years back to allow for electronic
agreement of copyright law when submitting an electronic ILL form. When
the patron click "submit this request" (or whatever the lingo is), they are
informed that they are also agreeing to any and all copyright adherences.
The patron is also given the "return" or "cancel" option to make it clear
that they don't have to agree to copyright law, but at the same time they
will not get their request submitted. The ALA ILL guidelines now define
the electronic agreement equivilant to an electronic signature. Hope this
helps (and hope I answered the question).
