What is your policy on Inter Library Loan (ILL)?
The Customer and the Institutions shall be permitted to fulfill requests from other academic institutions, a practice commonly called Inter-Library Loan (“ILL”) in print format or by secure electronic transmission including individual chapters or whole ebooks from the Licensed Materials (including a single file created by the lending library from the chapter pdfs that comprise a given title) for scholarly, personal, educational, or scientific research or professional use, but in no case for resale or other Commercial Use, and provided that the relevant copyright notices and appropriate credit information are also transmitted and provided further that no more than one copy of an ebook is transmitted. Customer and the Institutions shall fulfill such requests strictly in all instances in compliance with Section 108 of the United States Copyright Law (17 USC §108, “Limitations on exclusive rights: Reproduction by libraries and archives”).
The electronic form of the Product may be used as a source for ILL, provided that Customer fulfills all ILL requests for files contained in the Licensed Materials through industry-standard, secure ILL transmission software. Customer and the Institutions shall include copyright notices on all ILL transmissions. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any non-secure electronic transmission of files be permitted.
Scholarly Sharing: Authorized Users may transmit to a third party colleague in hard copy or electronically, Reasonable Amounts of the Product for personal use, professional use or Educational Purposes but in no event for Commercial Use. In addition, Authorized Users have the right to use, with appropriate credit, figures, tables and brief excerpts from the Product in the Authorized User’s own scientific, scholarly and educational works.
“Authorized Users” shall mean individuals who are authorized by an Institution (as defined below) to access the Institution’s information services whether on-site or off-site via Secure Authentication, including via institutional proxy server, and who are affiliated to the Institution as a current student (undergraduates and postgraduates), teaching, research, or clinical faculty, member of staff (whether on a permanent or temporary basis), alumni, or contractor of the Institution. Persons who are not a current student, member of staff or a contractor of the Institution, but who are permitted to access the Institution’s information services from computer terminals or other devices within the physical premises of the Institution ("Walk-In Users") are also deemed to be Authorized Users, only for the time they are within the physical premises of the Institution. Walk-In Users may not be given means to access the Product when they are not within the physical premises of the Institution.
“Reasonable Amount” shall mean not more than ten percent (10%) of any individual book or journal issue where these are included in a database, and not more than five percent (5%) of the total database content.
“Secure Authentication” shall mean access to the Product by Internet Protocol (“IP”) ranges, including via institutional proxy server, or by another means of authentication agreed between Sage and Customer or the Institutions (if applicable) from time to time.
For the Products under this Exhibit, the provisions regarding Inter-Library Loan and Scholarly Sharing in Section V. (Authorized Use of Product) in the Agreement do not apply and Inter-Library Loan and Scholarly Sharing is not permitted.
