The
copyright law of the
United States (Title 17, U.S. 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 specified
conditions
is 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 to accept a
copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would
involve
violation of copyright law.
Under CONTU Guidelines, only 5 photocopies total may be ordered during
the current calenadar year through Interlibrary Loan from any one
journal when the requested citation is from the last 5 years including
the current calendar year.
