Fintel Library will attempt to obtain copyright permissions for Course Reserves requests. Note that materials requiring copyright clearance will not be placed on Course Reserves until permission has been granted.
Faculty and students may need to request permission from a copyright owner in order to make copies for classroom, publishing or other uses.
To obtain permission for photocopies:
- Consult The Copyright Clearance Center which has the right to grant permission and collect fees for photocopying rights for certain publications.
- Or, write directly to the publisher for permission. For smoother processing, allow plenty of lead time.
Include this information:
- Title, author and/or editor, and edition of materials to be duplicated
- Exact material to be used, giving amount, page numbers, chapters and, if possible, a photocopy of the material
- Number of copies to be made
- Use to be made of duplicated materials
- Form of distribution (classroom, newsletter, etc.)
- Whether or not the material is to be sold
- Type of reprint (ditto, photography, offset, typeset)
If you cannot locate the publisher's address in the publication, email library@roanoke.edu and a librarian will attempt to assist.
