Coursepacks and other locally produced course materials should, with limited exceptions, be sold in the University shop. The department chair may, if he or she wishes, authorize the sale of course materials in the department office. The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration of all of the above factors. Copying that goes beyond these guidelines may still constitute a fair use under U.S. Copyright laws. To insure compliance with this code, the University's Department of Graphic Services requires that all requests for multiple copies sent to Graphic Services have a certification signed by the requester, certifying that appropriate laws have been complied with.
Rubber stamps are invalid.
Failure to comply will result in the return of the job for compliance. It should be noted that circumventing this requirement by use of an office copier in no way avoids compliance with copyright laws. Certification forms are available from the Copy Center. Questions concerning the application of the copyright laws in specific situations should be addressed to the Office of the Vice President and General Counsel.
