The copyright
law of the United Sates (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 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 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.
