Patrons using library equipment to copy material stored on microforms are responsible for following fair use limitations in 17 USCS 107 . Documents published by the government are public and are therefore exempt from copyright restrictions. Patrons are requested to refrain from socializing or using cell phones when using micrographic equipment. Not only do we have a limited number of machines, conversation is a distraction to others involved in research and study. Patrons needing change are asked to go to the Duplication Services room at the West end of the 1st floor.
Patrons are responsible for monitoring the quality of copies made on micrographic equipment.
Staff or student workers should be made aware of any problems as soon as they occur. It is the responsibility of staff and student workers to clear paper jams, change lenses, add paper, service toner cartridges and troubleshoot equipment. Patrons caught performing these functions will be asked to refrain. Repeated failure to comply with these policies may result in patron being asked to leave the room or be escorted from the library by security. Patrons are discouraged from adding paper, clearing jams, etc.
