Copyright Guidelines

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

Ebling Library follows U.S. copyright guidelines. It is the client's responsibility to determine whether their use of a photocopy fits into "fair use" or not. If not, we advise you to pay the copyright royalty through the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) Web site at http://www.copyright.com/ccc/home.do.
