Policy Statement:
The Drew University Library Copyright Policy for Reserves is derived from the fair use guidelines of the U.S. Copyright Act of 1976, subsequent legislation, and court rulings on copyright issues. We cannot place materials on reserve if the nature, scope, or extent of copying is judged to exceed the limits of fair use.
...
- Professors may choose to purchase the entire work from which a reproduction has been or would be made or may request that the Library acquire the work; the professor’s personal or a Drew Library book may then be placed on reserve in subsequent semesters in lieu of a photocopied item.
- Professors may provide links to articles and books that are available online or direct their students to these links rather than placing copies on reserve.
- All professors must complete a ‘fair use checklist’ and a ‘certification form’ with each reproduced item submitted for reserve. On the form, the professor will be asked to certify the manner in which the photocopy being submitted for reserve falls under the fair use guidelines and other copyright restrictions. Fair Use Checklists forms and Certification forms are available at the Reserve end of the Circulation counter and online.
- Forms submitted with reproduced items will be retained by the reserve office.
- If a professor wishes to use the same reproduced material in a subsequent semester, the professor must obtain copyright permission from the copyright holder or substantiate the reason why copyright permission is not required. Copyright permission may be requested through the Copyright Clearance Center at www.copyright.com.
- The Library will not retain reproduced material after the end of a semester. All reproduced material will be returned to the professor; no photocopied materials will be stored by the Library.
