I do not know if there are such automated programs (robots) that can download hundred of articles at a time however my interpretation of "systematic" is likened to " the systematic destruction of the rainforest" that is to say that this program OR PERSON takes ALL the articles of an issue ; ALL the issues of a volume ==>

Ever since I saw the word "systematic" in Jenny's question, I've been thinking that it somehow referred to those improper uses where someone attempts to download hundreds of articles at a time, with help from a robot...

Subject: Re: [SERIALST] confusion over License language
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
