The guidelines used to determine what is
included in the Library’s reserves system will include a fair
use analysis
using the four standards on a case-by-case basis. The four standards
will allow us to make balanced decisions about what material is appropriate
for consideration in the project. Reserves will be limited to copies
of single articles or chapters, or other small portions of a work
or originals of an entire work. The four standards are reviewed in
detail earlier in this policy and include:
-
The purpose and character of the use.
-
The nature of the copyrighted work
-
The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation
to the copyrighted work as a whole.
-
The effect of use on the potential market for or value of the
work.
-
When the material requested for reserve exceeds what might
be permitted under fair
use, the faculty member
should seek permission from the holder of the copyright or the Copyright
Clearance Center to ensure compliance with the Copyright Law and
retention of documentation.
-
Under fair use, students may make one copy for private study or
research.
-
All copied material must carry the following statement: NOTICE:
This material may be protected by copyright law. (Title 17 U.S. Code).
