Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States 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 "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of Copyright Law.


FEES: Please note that most ILLs cost $3 each and take 5-10 working days to arrive. Rush fax fees vary between approximately $15-$25, and are usually delivered within 24 to 48 hours, Monday - Friday. We will accept no more than five (5) rush requests from any one individual per day. Photocopies of items owned in-house cost $.20 per page. The Library accepts cash, checks or departmental/grant billing numbers as payment for ILLs and photocopies.
