Copyright Considerations

Submitting an article request implies that the requestor is aware of the notice concerning copyright restrictions stated on each request form and is in full compliance:

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, USC) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. 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 an article request if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of the copyright law.

This law means the library cannot deliver

• Documents in excess of fifty (50) pages.
• The entirety of a copyrighted work copied without the express written permission of the copyright holder. It is the responsibility of the requester to secure written approval.
• Multiple copies of an article.
• More than one (1) article from a single periodical issue or one (1) chapter from a book for a single requestor.

For more information on copyright considerations, contact Kerrie Shaw, (757) 446-5842, shawks@evms.edu.
