Copyright permission is required when posting an item to electronic reserves. If your item meets the following criteria we will have to get permission from the publisher before posting the item
- The request for an item or items comprise more than 10% of a published work not owned by Criss Library
- The request consists of multiple articles from a single issue of a journal or newspaper
- The request is for an item to be re-posted to an electronic reserve course page
- The request is for item(s) to be on reserve for more than one semester
- The request is for item(s) required or optional reading for an individual course taught in multiple sections by multiple professors
The library will attempt to secure permission for use of the material by contacting the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC). Not all publishers are registered with CCC and we may be required to contact the publisher or author directly for copyright permission. It can take several weeks if the item is a special request through CCC or if we have to contact the author or publisher directly, so please get all requests in as early as possible and include your syllabus.
Additional information about copyright fees:
- Fees are per-semester, and may change from one semester to the next
- Fees vary widely from one publisher to another. Fees are either a flat fee for the semester or calculated using a per page fee multiplied by the number of enrolled students
- We can't guarantee that we will be able to obtain permission for an acceptable fee. Some publishers are unwilling to grant permission for any fee
- The library will pay up to $50 per title and up to $400 per course in permissions fees. If fees for any single title are more than $50, or if the total fees for the course exceed $400, the request will be sent to the Director of Public Services for review and approval.
