Perhaps the CONFU "Fair use guidelines for electronic reserves systems" (http://copyright.lib.utexas.edu/rsrvguid.html) might be of some assistance? I certainly hope so, as our own campus policy has been informed by them. All the caveats noted for CONTU, etc. about this not being "the law" still apply of course.
Under "scope", we see point 3: "Electronic reserve systems should not include any material unless the instructor, the library, or another unit of the educational institution possesses a lawfully obtained copy." This would seem to indicate that ILL is a-ok.
However, I *might* be a little worried about point 4: "The total amount of material included in electronic reserve systems for a specific course as a matter of fair use should be a small proportion of the total assigned reading for a particular course." Depending on the total reading assigned, eleven articles seems to shade close to coursepack territory -- a place where factor four might loom larger...
