[Eril-l] ILL of eBooks: terms and conditions

[Bhatt, Anjana]

Hello everyone: I am curious about ILL of eBooks issue.   My understanding is that most of vendors permit PDF copy of chapters from eBooks via secured  ILL, like we do for our journal articles and the usual fair use guidelines apply to eBooks collections too.

I understand that public libraries have several applications in place to lend the complete eBooks to their readers from the libraries in their system but I am interested in knowing if academic libraries are also able to provide a complete eBook on ILL to other libraries?

Do you lend your complete eBooks to other libraries? If so, which software application do you use? Do you have a specific process in place? If so, can you please provide some information about it?

You may reply to me individually.  I will summarize for the listserv members.

Thanks & Regards.
