In the United States the ILL system has been in place since the early 20th century, and has been extended into the age of photocopying according to the American Library Association's "Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States." Ref: http://www.ala.org/ala/mgrps/divs/rusa/resources/guidelines/interlibrary .cfm The interpretation of the photocopying rules for libraries under Copyright Law of the United States of America (Title 17 of the United States Code, section 108, http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap1.html#108 ), is described by the National Commission on New Technological Uses of Copyright Works guidelines (1978). Ref: http://www.cni.org/docs/infopols/CONTU.html The interpretation is that a requesting library cannot use ILL as a substitute for a subscription if six or more copies of recent articles (within last 5 years of publication) are requested for a single periodical in a calendar year. It doesn't look like this restriction applies to older, archival articles. Disclaimers: (1) I'm not a lawyer. (2) The laws of the United States undoubtedly differ from the laws elsewhere in the world.
