RE: Journal article question

["Collins, Geraldine" <gcollins@xxxxxxxx>]

The simplest thing to do is to treat this journal as if it were a book and
apply copying rules accordingly.

If you can, make an exception to your lending policy and lend the item to the
requesting library.  An adjustment in the normal loan period for books may be
necessary, but this is often done in resource sharing.

Remember the most useful tenet of copying decisions is: "when in doubt, get
permission".

Why not try contacting the author of the article and securing
permission?--Judith Wegner, UNC

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.
