ILL, copyright, and e-reserves

["Valerie A. Lang" <langval@xxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone,

Is it a violation of copyright law to place articles on electronic
reserve, which have been obtained via interlibrary loan???

Scenario: a faculty member wants an article on reserve, but the library
does not have the article in its periodical or electronic database
collection. The library (librarian) as a result requests the text of the
article via ILL. When the article arrives it is put on reserve.

Is this permissible?

The various sources devoted to ILL copyright matters, which I have
found, do not address the issue of putting such articles on reserve.

Many thanks,

Val
