From: Erin Gallagher <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 20 May 2015 13:33:48 +0000 Good morning, everyone. We license a couple of historic primary source archival collections through Gale/Cengage. We are considering purchasing the 19th Century US Newspapers collection but are disconcerted to find that Gale/Cengage has altered their contract template to prohibit ILL. Our rep has informed us that without this new prohibitive language, ILL would be permitted under copyright law and would allow libraries to share material beyond the “minimal, insubstantial portions” they’ve allowed in the past. They are also concerned that ILL would allow the receiving library to keep materials for multiple users. ILL seems like a standard practice among libraries, and as a major player in the publishing/vending world, Gale/Cengage’s new contract language is surprising. Has anyone else encountered these new ILL limitations in Gale/Cengage contracts? Have you negotiated for ILL successfully? Or are you going ahead and purchasing/subscribing to collections anyway? Thank you for your collective wisdom in advance. Erin Erin Gallagher Electronic Resources & Serials Librarian Olin Library Rollins College Winter Park, FL 32789 [log in to unmask]
