ICOLC Response to the International Association of Scientific Technical and Medical (STM) Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n

Issued June 22, 2011<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

A recent statement by the International Association of Scientific Technical and Medical Publishers (STM) advocates a set of new guidelines for document delivery.\u00a0\u00a0 http:\/\/www.stm-assoc.org\/industry-news\/stm-statement-on-document-delivery\/<\/a> While intellectual property laws vary from country to country, STM’s approach would radically alter well-established library practices that advance knowledge, support scholarship, and are compliant with current copyright laws.\u00a0 The STM recommendations are in conflict with widely held principles that provide a copyright exception for interlibrary loan (ILL) activities. The regime anticipated by the STM statement would place unfair restrictions on researchers’ access to information. In particular, ICOLC contends that:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. interlibrary loan, under existing principles and laws, is consistent with the three-step test of Berne;<\/li>\n
  2. cross-border deliveries are adequately and appropriately governed by current copyright law;.<\/li>\n
  3. digital document delivery directly to an end-user is best coordinated through the end-user’s library or community of learners;<\/li>\n
  4. libraries are able to deliver on-site articles to library walk-up patrons in any format, including both digital and print;<\/li>\n
  5. current copyright law appropriately places the burden on the library user to affirm that the documents they receive are for private, non-commercial use.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The ICOLC strongly supports IFLA’s Draft Library Treaty, Article 7, which states \u201cIt shall be permissible for a library or archive to supply a copy of any work. . . lawfully acquired or accessed by the library or archive, to another library or archive for subsequent supply to any of its users, by any means . . . provided that such use is compatible with fair practice as determined in national law.\u201d http:\/\/www.ifla.org\/files\/clm\/publications\/tlib.pdf<\/a> See also ARL’s statement clarifying legal protections afforded to libraries for national and international ILL use http:\/\/publications.arl.org\/rli275\/18<\/a>, related documents http:\/\/publications.arl.org\/rli275\/4<\/a> and http:\/\/publications.arl.org\/rli275<\/a> .<\/p>\n
