| Obtaining
Permission to Place on Reserve
It
is the responsibility of faculty members to obtain permission to
place protected material on Reserve. Permission is usually obtained
by writing to the publisher of the material. Please see our sample
letter for requesting permission to place protected material
on Library Reserve. The guidelines listed below in Obtaining Permission
to Copy may also prove helpful.
Obtaining
Permission to Copy
Faculty
and students may need to request permission from a copyright owner

in the Classroom for general guidelines. Faculty may pass
on to students any fees for copies which the copyright owner may
assess.
To
obtain permission to make and distribute photocopies:

Consult
The Copyright Clearance Center
which has the right to grant permission and collect fees for
photocopying rights for certain publications.

Or
write directly to the publisher for permission. Please see our
sample
letter for requesting permission to copy and distribute
protected material. For smoother processing, allow plenty of
lead time.

to be used, giving amount, page numbers, chapters and, if possible,
a photocopy of the material

copies to be made
- Use to be
made of duplicated materials

not the material is to be sold
