Cindy, Please take a look at the Copyright section of the Federal Librarians Handbook http://www.loc.gov/flicc/pubs/federalhandbook.pdf <http://www.loc.gov/flicc/pubs/federalhandbook.pdf> Chapter VII Copyright Management. You might find some insights there.

Do you have a formal policy regarding answering requests for articles from members of the public? Do you only answer requests from other libraries? or from individuals also? Any comments on copyright compliance in this scenario would be appreciated. Thanks, - Cindy Rankin CEAH Library (http://ceah.ipac.dynixasp.com/#focus)
