LIMC can make copies of your original works at your request. If you have the copyright owner's permission, LIMC can make copies for classroom or research use. Absent permission, LIMC can, under certain circumstances, reproduce excerpts from audiotapes, videotapes, and other materials for classroom use or for scholarly research. This allowance is limited. If you want to incorporate copyrighted material into a standard course syllabus, you should get permission from the copyright holder.
Different rules apply for different audio-visual resources.
Likewise, if the source tape is not copyrighted, you may copy the material freely. If you have the publisher's permission, LIMC will reproduce tapes. If you are uncertain about the rules covering the tapes you wish to use, ask your department, or consult with the LIMC staff. If an instructor wishes to have more than one copy of a film on reserve, LIMC will assist in finding another original that the instructor can borrow or rent. The instructor may retain this copy for his or her portfolio.
