90 Under 108(e), however, Library A must be unable to find either a new or used copy. The library, therefore, must contact both new and used dealers.

Example 1

Ronald Kornblow, a professor of hotel management, finds out that the International Journal of Hospitality Management recently published a symposium issue devoted to managing hotels in Islamic countries. He asks the library to photocopy every article from that issue for him.

Example 2

Professor Spaulding wants to read a book published in 1983 on architectural ruins in North Africa. You borrow the book from another library, and when it needs to be returned the professor tells you it is the best book he ever read on that topic and he wants to purchase a copy. Unfortunately, the book is out of print. You contact numerous new and used book dealers, but none have the book, nor can they locate one.

Example 3

Same fact pattern as Example 2, except that an electronic version of the book is available for purchase from Google Books.
