Dear Dr. Barman,
I agree with Mr Deepak that idea of credit should be same for giver and receiver both. As far as copy right is concerned, we can make union catalogue without violating the copyright because making union catalogue or indexing & making bibliography of the documents do not fall under copyright. Systematic downloading and using for profit, definitely come under umbrella of copy right.
Voluntarily sharing one or two articles form a journal to a needy person for study or research purpose should be encouraged, and I think it will not create problem.
Also the price of the DDS considering that there is no postal expense, can be minimize for reasonable or closed down.

Sir,
According to your opinion, every library which is offering DDS service on
payment basis will fall under this copyright law, then what is the right of
library which is subscribing the particular resource and paying a huge
amount for it?
There is no sense of making library networks if you do not have right to
share your resource with the network libraries.
Copy rights and resource sharing are always contradictory we will have to
find a way between.
Dr. Barman came with a brilliant idea and all the libraries at least try
and assess the pros and cons of the idea then only we can make any
conclusion.

Dear Dr. Badan Barman,
Unless the documents intended to be shared are "Open Access" type, the
people involved may land into problems under the provision of Copy
Right act.

Respected Froum / Group Members,
It become a regular fact that people who made a document request did not
receive the document. Day by day people stop sharing for the benefit of
others. So, I come with a plan to help the people who are in need of a
document and at the same time to strengthen the existing library
associations just by sharing a document.
*Proposed Step by Step Process for LIS Links Document Delivery Service*
*Group Address: http://lislinks.com/group/document-delivery-service-dds
*
*1. Building Union Collection of Electronic Documents:* We are building
union collection of database / e-journals / e-books that are accessible
to
individual librarians through their institutional subscription. It will
only include the collection of those librarians who want to participate
in
the LIS Links Document Delivery Service. If you are interested kindly
join
this group (http://lislinks.com/group/document-delivery-service-dds),
and
include your collection in this form (
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1BBczxocBBVd9ZgvtQLJotrQW7ye2Jif9UYmUEoRT_Hw...
).
*2. Ask for Your Document:* As a librarian if you or any one of your
library member feel the need of any kind of document particularly e-book,
e-journal, electronic article, that are not accessible from your own
institute or you are not subscribed to it, then you can ask for the
document here (
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/11sFcxwr8dqR0ptgsaJUYBJ37KwYkPaQkujfFNzLm4ZA...
).
? Now the moderator will consult the union collection of electronic
documents, and send the request to only those who have the access to your
requested document.
? The sender will send the document to the moderator and in turn
moderator
will send the document to the people who are in need of it.
? Those who will send the article will earn a single credit (for every
kind
of document a single credit), and the people who will receive it, will
owe
two credit for a single document.
? At the end of the year we will charged the people who owe a credit (one
credit is equal to Rs. 50/-).
? Those who will earn the credit can use his/her credit to get a document
or he/she can cash the credit and donate it to any national level library
association of India (excluding the cost of cheque clearance fee / cost
of
demand draft and postal charge).
? Kindly note we are not making a profit and will also take necessary
action so that others cannot make a profit out of it.
*Note:* I really dont know whether this plan will work or not, but I
think
we should try it. Kindly provide your constructive criticism on my plan
or
join me in a test.
Thanking you,
Yours faithfully
