The British Library to Change Licensing for Noncommercial, Non-U.K. Document Delivery
by Barbara Quint
Starting in January 2012, The British Library (BL) will replace its current Overseas Library Privilege Service with the International Non-Commercial Document Supply (INCD) service. The new service stems from a new framework license agreement supported by the International Association of Scientific, Technical & Medical Publishers (STM) and the Publishers Association. It still requires libraries to be authorized, but it also imposes increased compliance documentation on library patrons. End users will have to sign declaration forms before receiving ordered items as well as annual statements of noncommercial status, forms that libraries will have to maintain for 6 years plus current year.
