Copyright Rules and Regulations
Copying includes printing, photocopying and similar methods of mechanical duplication.
It is not permissible to reproduce copyrighted materials without the written authorization of the copyright holder unless it qualifies under the copyright law's doctrine of "fair use."
Faculty and staff may reproduce copyrighted materials for instructional and research purposes without securing permission and without paying royalties when circumstances qualify for "fair use."
Some "fair use" guidelines are:
For teaching (including preparation) and for scholarly research, single copies may be made of a book chapter; an article from a journal, periodical or newspaper; a short story, essay or poem; a diagram or picture in any of those works. For onetime distribution in class to students, multiple copies may be made if:
There is no more than one copy for each student
Notice of copyright is included
Poetry, prose and illustrations are selectively and sparingly chosen
No charge is made to the student beyond the actual cost of the copy
The effect of copying will not be detrimental to the market for the work
Permission should be obtained if material is:
Repetitively copied
Copied for profit
Unpublished works
Consumable works (works intended for classroom activities, such as workbooks, exercises and standardized tests)
Creating anthologies or texts
If there is any doubt about any material qualifying for "fair use", it should not be copied without permission from the copyright holder or without the approval of legal counsel.
Printing Services will adhere to all guidelines governing copyrighted materials of any format whether, electronic, printed or in art form.
EDUCATION and FAIR USE - THE FEDERAL COPYRIGHT LAW
107: Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair Use
Notwithstanding the provisions of section 106, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
(2) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
(3) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or the value of the copyrighted work.
