I agree with Kevin. Fair use is not part of the question in this case. Georgia.

While I think Barbara is right that copying an entire issue of a
periodical would likely not be a fair use, it is not fair use that must be
interpreted here. ILL is justified, when it is justified, under section
108, which does not mention the proportion of the portion copied to the
whole work except to say that "no more than one article... [from] a
periodical issue" may be copied in order to be sent to another institution
whose patron has made a request.


Section 108 is pretty complicated, but I do not see anything there that
would prevent its provision for ILL from applying in the situation you
describe, as long as the other requirements (copy becomes the property of
the patron, there is no systematic copying (which is usually controlled
using the "rule of five"), etc.) are met.

RE: Journal article question






My uninformed opinion is that copying a full issue would not be fair use, even if it's only one article. You could (first sale doctrine) loan the issue, but copying would be a problem. This journal does sell individual issues ($75). I don't see it available as a separately cataloged item in any library, though.

They also don't do permissions through CCC.

Unfortunately, no it is not PNAS. It is Journal of Gang Research.
Thanks!

<snip> However,
this particular request is for a single journal article
for an
issue in
              a particular volume.
              Unfortunately, that particular article is the ONLY
article in
that
              issue.
