OhioLINK – ILL Experiences in Licensing ALA June 27, 2004 “The first thing we do, let's kill all the Lawyers.”
ILL in a Group E-Journal License • When almost all of the titles accessed and articles used electronically by CC’s and IC’s were never held in print • When every university accesses more titles than held in print • When 10 of 13 universities use more articles from titles not held in print than from titles held in print • When the incremental cost for this access is only 5-15% over the collective print investment
ILL in a Group License- Minimum requirement from 1996 • Rights to anything held in print is unaffected • If the Member had a print subscription for the title at the time of the initial Agreement the ILL right is retained even if the print copy is cancelled • The requested article is printed by the Member and mailed or faxed to the requesting library • Everything else is gravy and desirable
Let’s put ILL in perspective • Tempest in a teapot • Reality does not suggest the publisher’s have anything to fear • Massive ILL increases are not our job nor objective nor priority • ILL is not the user’s priority or objective
