Policies
Copyright and "Fair Use":
"The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified 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 a document for purposes in excess of "fair use", that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a request if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the request would involve violation of copyright law.
Copyright Guidelines:
In order to operate within the guidelines of "fair use" while striving to provide access to research materials, our copyright policies for article and book chapter requests are as follows:
- Book Chapters: No more than one chapter (or 10%) from a single work can be delivered.
- No more than two requests from the same resource per user
- As an institution we cannot borrow more than five articles published within the last five years from the same journal
Anything that exceeds these limits will be canceled and you will be sent a notification asking you to resubmit the request with one chapter specified.
