Re: Circulation of Periodicals (2 messages) Pennington, Buddy D. 25 Oct 2005 13:48 UTC
I'm also no expert on this, but I can't think of any portion of the copyright laws that specifically prohibits the scanning and distribution of articles from print resources. I would think that as long as you were following the basics (only one article from a specific issue per request and attaching a notice of copyright in the email) you would be okay.

However, getting patrons subscribed to Table of Contents or setting up a journal alert in Ebsco or other service is fine. I have done that for a number of patrons and they love it.
