What am I missing here?
If the library purchases a printed copy of Catcher In The Rye, and an
instructor would like to have his class all read it, you are saying
that the library, either can make the full text available
electronically (without purchasing a multi-user e-book), or
print/Xerox/duplicate forty copies for a course pack?
Without benefit to the publisher or the author (or author's estate)?
And it is somehow wrong or greedy for HBR to require permission and
perhaps compensation?

> Thanks for the email. Our contract with EBSCO allows our complete

> is that people use EBSCO as a substitute for assigned classroom
> curriculum. The professor says "read this article on EBSCO" instead of
> purchasing copies, in paper or electronically, directly from us. I

> electronically or distribute in paper, please let us know and we can
> set it up. If this is just for private use or research, you can link
> or store it on your hard drive, or do what you want as your school has
> paid for access, just please do not distribute the articles or post
> them for classroom assignments.
> Sincerely,
