It should be assumed that the creation of an anthology, or course pack, is not fair use . Therefore, permission from the copyright owner must be obtained. An instructor may give Loyola University permission to copy his or her own written work if the instructor controls the rights. Otherwise, permission must be obtained from the publisher. Including copyrighted materials within course packs without permission from the copyright owner may lead to civil and criminal penalties .
Publishers are very aggressive in policing the use of their materials.
In order to assist instructors in obtaining permission to duplicate and distribute copyrighted materials, the Department of Printing Services established the Copyright Clearance Program in 1991. Program offices are located in the Copy Centers at both Lake Shore and Water Tower Campuses. Copyright clearance services are provided free of charge. Direct students to the Loyola University Bookstore to purchase the course pack. A blank form is available in this booklet or can be obtained at the Copy Centers.
