From: "Robinson, Faye E." <[log in to unmask]> Date: Mon, 17 Sep 2012 13:46:01 -0400 My post is regarding two items that I thought related to the subject of this post. Because of our governor's reorganization of higher education in New Jersey, NJG has acquired a school of allopathic medicine. In 2013, a school of osteopathic medicine will be added. The original library of the university before the reorganization is designated as the main library. There will be separate Illiad systems at each campus. There are two schools of thought about paying copyright. The policy of the Dean of Library Services at the main campus concerning electronic journal transmission and copyright compliance is if we own it in paper, we can send it without copyright payment because it is Fair Use. Many journals have been cancelled because of duplication in the databases. I, head of Resource Sharing (ILL), do not agree. This issue needs to be cleared up because the medical school is charged fees when they borrow from research university libraries such as Temple U. and Jefferson U., but they do not call them copyright fees. This has been an ongoing debate while copyright fees accumulate in the Illiad system. The staff has not clicked the "submit to CCC" (Copyright Clearance Center) button because of the uncertainty. Therefore, we have not been billed by them. Any schools of thought on either issue would be much appreciated. Faye Robinson
