I was thinking that as well.  ILL is not, by any means, "the systematic
making of print or electronic copies."

I was taught that "systematic" means "regular." So systematic copying
would be like sending another library articles from every single issue.
Obviously, ILL would be more sporadic. I think the second phrase allows
for temporary creation of a file for ILL. For instance, you print out
the article, then scan it into Ariel, and send it to another library. It

seems that e-reserves are prohibited.

That's just my $.02. Does anyone disagree with my interpretation?

Thanks,
Kristen
