US Copyright Law governs the use of copyrighted material, and therefore, has implications on the type of material, the number of copies made, the amount of material, and the length of time the materials may be kept on Reserve. The Library upholds the US Copyright laws and enjoys the exceptions allowed according to Fair Use guidelines.
The Library will seek permission and pay royalties for those Reserve submissions exceeding Fair Use guidelines. Library staff will work with faculty to determine alternatives when costs become prohibitive or when copyright permission is denied.
As stated in Section 107 of the US Copyright Act, educational, not-for-profit institutions are afforded special exemptions from copyright law. These exemptions, known as the Fair Use guidelines, pose questions for determining whether making a copy will be fair depending upon how the copied material will be used:
Fair Use Interpretation for Cheng Library Reserves:
Cheng Library will seek permission in the following cases, which exceed Fair Use:
The Library will pay up to $50 for a single document, and up to $100 for readings for a single course.
Library staff will assist faculty in evaluating how copyright affects Reserve materials before including them in our collection. A copyright notice will appear on the first page of photocopied reserve material to indicate that materials may be covered by copyright law. Full citations and attributions to original sources will be included.
The Library will seek permission and pay royalties for those Reserve submissions exceeding Fair Use guidelines. Library staff will work with faculty to determine alternatives when costs become prohibitive or when copyright permission is denied.
