[LIS-Forum] Supplying Journal Articles - Does it ViolateCopyrightsLaws

[Basudev Mohanty]

Hi,

It would be great if someone could clarify my doubt on "commercial" or "non-commercial" aspects posted by Vasumathi, Sukhdev Singh & by other professional friends too on "Supplying Journal Articles".

Is the "commercial" or "non-commercial" to do with immediate use or to do with the goals of the organization one belongs to?

Thanks & Regards!
