In the general OCA project, they don't -- they only scan volumes from 
1922 and earlier.  1923 and later is out-of-scope for OCA.

I am very interested in seeing how they go about building a document 
repository for in-copyright works that is meant for ILL.  I thought 
that general practice was that entire volumes were never digitized 
for ILL document delivery.  Someone with more experience in ILL 
should weigh in here.
