Hi
there has been quite a bit of discussion on this subject on LIS-ILL in
the past ... Graham Titley at the University of Plymouth tends to be the
guy in the know

Dear Charles,
Does that still apply if users have to use a secure individual login and
PIN to get to a web form used for ordering an ILL?
Many thanks,
Simon

Sorry to be a party pooper, but....current e mail systems in use in
Universities are not secure enough to allow their use for ordering ILLs.
Personal handwritten signatures should be used. In law, a standard e
mail is not considered to be "signed", and therefore a library
fulfilling an ILL request received in such a way is in the same position
as one fulfilling a request on a form which has not been signed, i.e.,
working outside library privilege.
There are also potential copyright issues in delivering copies in
electronic form - they should only be used on a stand alone
non-networked PC.
Publishers are very hot on this topic and I strongly advise not going
down this route unless you are fully satisfied that all copyright and
related issues are addressed.

Dear colleagues,
We are planning a move to e-delivery of articles and wondered how other
institutions managed the electronic signature element.
Do you have some form of copyright declaration that students have to
tick or otherwise agree to, or do you just make them log in personally
in order to make the request?
Please reply off-list if you prefer, and I will summarise for the list.
Thanks,
Chris
