Copyright Law
Copyright law of the United States (Title 17 of the 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 that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be 鈥渦sed for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.鈥� If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of 鈥渇air use,鈥� that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copy order if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
