    Oversharing? Copyright, Open Access, and Managing Risks in ILL
    (2016-09-08) Baich, Tina; Dethloff, Nora
    ILL staff must be familiar with a network of copyright laws and guidelines to determine whether they can legally fill an ILL copy request with the material in hand. An important factor in making such determinations is a risk assessment. While the CONTU guidelines can be a measuring stick, there has been much discussion recently about their applicability in our current environment and whether or not they restrict our application of the fair use restriction. The answer to these copyright questions may appear to be open access, but widespread sharing through social media channels makes risk assessment a requirement in this arena as well. This presentation will discuss the safe harbors created by the CONTU guidelines and open access publishing and how to mitigate institutional risk in the sharing of journal content.

    Unlocking the Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States
    (Taylor & Francis, 2016-12-20) Baich, Tina; Dethloff, Nora; Miller, Brian
    A newly revised Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States was approved in 2016, the 100th anniversary of its first appearance. This article outlines the two-year, iterative revision process undertaken by the ALA RUSA STARS Codes, Guidelines, and Technical Standards Committee, including the results of two public surveys and significant changes to the Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States. The authors hope to provide a template for future revisions and share the process with the entire interlibrary loan community.
