This paper focuses on the ILL
restrictions publishers' place on libraries licensing serial EContent. The
paper analyzes data from a survey asking:
- What is the nature of ILL
restrictions?
- Can these be categorized by
type?
- What percentage of ILL requests is
affected?
- Has it changed
recently?
- Are libraries attempting to
negotiate these restrictions and with what success?
The second part of the survey
covers the planning libraries are doing to prepare for the consequences of
restrictions on ILL. It asks:
- Are libraries making any effort to
retain print for ILL purposes
- If print retention is done locally
or consortially, are provisions for easy ILL access being made?
A hypothesis is that these
restrictions will mean that libraries must pay more for access by the piece. If
paper copies of serials are limited, commercial suppliers may well be the only
source. Typically, charges from suppliers are at a premium and Fair Use is no
longer an option.
The paper will analyze the results
and then explore the ramification of restrictions on access for researchers. It
will draw on data from major library's reliance on ILL article access, to ask
how this use may look in a no Fair Use world. The author will be extrapolating
from this data; academic access needs and use in general. A literature review
an academic library resource sharing is included as well as a philosophical
statement of the relationship of the academic library to the publisher.
