BRITISH LIBRARY - Document Supply







Dear Document Supply customer,

As a non-commercial organisation registered to use the British Library, you are currently accessing the collection through our Library Privilege Service. Under this service, exclusively available to certain non-commercial organisations, we supply you with single copies of documents for non-commercial use or private study. Items supplied through this service do not attract a publication specific copyright fee.
In January 2010, we will be updating our terms and conditions covering the Library Privilege Service and therefore, we wanted, in advance, to outline your responsibilities if using this service after this date.
Who qualifies for the Library Privilege Service?
The service is NOT available to individuals; USA based organisations or any commercial organisation based inside or outside the UK
The copyright fee exemptions offered through this service are only applicable when the document is to be used for a non-commercial research purpose or for private study.
Your obligations when using the Library Privilege Service:
The user must sign an English language declaration form , stating that the document is to be used for a non-commercial research purpose or for private study
The ordering library must collect and keep the signed declaration forms for 6 years, which we will audit as required
If a copy is required for a commercial purpose or the user cannot comply with the copyright restrictions then a licensed copy must be made, and a copyright fee is then payable.
We will also update our terms and conditions to allow us to contact you from time to time to ensure that you understand your obligations and are collecting declaration forms in the correct way. If you can provide the contact details of an English speaking representative at your organisation responsible for this area and who ensures service obligations are met to mailto:Customer-Services-Accounts@bl.ukby 30 November 2009, we will ensure that they are fully informed of any future developments. If you have any questions about this or any other British Library service, please contact us on +44 (0) 1937 546060.
Thank you for your co-operation and continued support of the British Library.
Yours sincerely

Sue Allison
Customer Services Manager The British Library
