They also need to know exactly how many pages will be duplicated and how many copies will be made of each page. For many authors and publishers, though, we must fax or mail a letter and hope to receive a response in a timely manner. It is our responsibility to re-contact the company at the correct location. For most journals requested through CCC, permission is immediate. Book chapters usually take longer, but CCC is usually very fast for all material.

Royalty demands are often dependent on the length of the reading and the number of copies requested. When responses are received, we must record their date and the royalty rate on the request sheets. When all responses have been received, we hope that time will permit a review of the results by the faculty member. Readings that are problematic are held until the problems are resolved and then issued as the packet's Part 2 or, if necessary, Part 3. Most publishers require that a permission statement be printed on the first page of each article.
