Permission to Copy Materials
As faculty take advantage of the ability to readily copy materials for their classes it has become a deep concern of the publishing industry that the copyright laws be followed. To help all of us to understand the requirements, the National Association of College Stores and the Association of American Publishers have worked together to produce a pamphlet giving the rules in simple understandable terms. It is available from the Bookstore.
It is the responsibility of the professor who uses copyrighted
materials to get the necessary permissions and pay the royalties, if any.
The Bookstore can help with this process through our affiliation with the
Copyright Clearance Center. Just send a completed
Request
Form for Copyright Permissions to the Bookstore. (Please review the instructions for this
form.) Within three days
we will have a response for each entry whether it is approved, denied,
or further action is necessary. CCC has agreements with numerous publishers so they can approve
many requests right away; however, some permissions take months, so please
plan ahead. After approval has been received, CCC will bill us for the appropriate
royalty fees. If you wish us to sell the copied materials along with other
course books, we will add these fees into the selling price. If not, the
department will be charged.
We recommend that Earlham's Campus Services do the copying. When
you take in your originals you can discuss the format and binding to be used
and, if we are to sell the material, ask them to charge the copying costs
and deliver the finished items directly to the Bookstore. We will then
calculate a selling price based on the copying costs, any royalty fees, plus
25% of the selling price for the Bookstore's services. Just be
sure to let us know that the job is in the works so that we can plan accordingly.
We have found the above procedures to be quite efficient but we are very
willing to discuss and work with your personal requirements. Please
get in touch if we can be of service.
