If you wanted to send the issue for in house use only I think you are within copyright law but you are right you can’t scan/copy an entire issue.

Subject: [SERIALST] ILLing entire issues

Hi,

For the first time, a library requested that we scan an entire issue of National Geographic through interlibrary Loan. Is this a copyright violation?

I know with books a conservative allowance for book scanning is 10% or 1 chapter. Does anyone know what the copyright restrictions are for scanning journals? I'm thinking 1 article.

Also, a staff member was wondering if you could legally send bound journals through the mail for ILL as you can books. I don't think we'd do this as our journals are in-library use only, but it was an interesting question to consider.

Thank you,

Jason Skoog
