From: "Hosburgh, Nathan" <[log in to unmask]> Date: Tue, 8 Jan 2013 10:08:36 -0700 Viral, I've worked in both ILL and Electronic Resources Management, so I have a fair bit of experience interpreting licenses. Based on what you've quoted from the license, I don't see anything specifically prohibiting electronic transmission of content from your end. So, I would note "permitted" for both ILL Secure Electronic & ILL Electronic (email). These fields refer to any restrictions placed on you as the lending library - restrictions that do not appear to be in the license. If such restrictions were present, the license would say something like "the electronic content must be printed as a paper copy before supplying via ILL, whether by post, facsimile, or digital transmission..." If you want to ensure that your library is following the stipulation that, "a note must be sent to the borrowing library instructing it to delete the electronic copy and to provide the library patron with a paper copy", you would need to create such a notice and place it either on the document itself, in the body of the email to which the document is attached, or on a cover page preceding the document. This is what I recommend based on my experience, but you could always contact the publisher to clarify.

In section 5 which sets forth terms for Use of NEJM Online, there is one statement having to do with ILL: "Licensee may, on occasion, supply single copies of materials from NEJM Online to a noncommercial library located in the same country as Licensee in accordance with Licensee's interlibrary loan procedures, whether by post, facsimile, or digital transmission..." It goes on to stipulate that a note must be sent to the borrowing library instructing it to delete the electronic copy and to provide the library patron with a paper copy. In our 360 Resource Manager, we have fields for ILL General, ILL Secure Electronic, and ILL Electronic (email). I'm tempted to enter "Permitted" in the field ILL General, but "Silent" in both ILL Secure Electronic and ILL Electronic (email). I would appreciate it if someone could share their experience or expertise in understanding these terms.
