E-Reserves in Canada: National Survey Update "We have looked at what would be involved to begin providing scanned copyright protected material and we simply do not have the staff to offer this service within the library." "No (to use of © materials). Obtaining copyright permissions and scanning would be too staff intensive." "The cost and time required for clearance is prohibitive. We won't offer this service until Access Copyright negotiates a digital rights agreement or the legislation changes to allow digitizing for academic institutions."
