Section 107 of the Copyright Act establishes four basic factors to be considered in deciding whether a use constitutes a fair use. C.The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole. D.The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. Because the library is considered an extension of the classroom, access to reserve materials is limited to course and instructors names. Reserve materials are available only for the semester in which the class is taught.
Subsequent semesters require permission.
Also, it is now required by the revised fair use guidelines, that you must include a photocopy of the copyright information, from the journal or book, along with a copy of the article you plan to place on reserve. We will not be able to place materials on reserve without it. No, that would violate copyright guidelines. Also, cost of copyright permission would be prohibitive. Copyright permission is granted for coursepacket materials for a specific professor teaching a specific course at a particular institution.
