Dear Vijaya Kumar,
An informal aggreement called CONTU Gidelines has been worked and followed
by Authors, Publishers and Librarians in order to resolve *Systematic
Reproduction* clause of US Copyright Act section 108 (g):

1.       CONTU Guidelines for copying from periodicals apply only to
materials less than five years old (referred to as part of the "rule of
five").

2.       Up to five articles may be copied from a single periodical in one
calendar year under the ILL provision (referred to as part of the "rule of
five").

3.       A library with a subscription for a periodical which is not
immediately available may consider a copy obtained from another library as
if made from its own collection.

4.       All  ILL requests must be accompanied by a copyright compliance
statement from the requesting library. The requesting library must maintain
records of all requests and of their fulfillment. These records must be kept
for three calendar years after the request has been made.

5.       No more than six copies of articles/chapters/small portions may be
made from a non-periodical (including a book) during the entire term of
copyright of the work.

6.     For copying beyond the CONTU Guidelines, the library may need to
obtain copyright permission directly from the copyright holder or from a
representative such as Copyright Clearance
