The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproduction of copyrighted materials. See fair use guidelines at: http://www.du.edu/intellectualproperty/fair_use.html .
Fair use policies for Penrose Library electronic reserves:
BOOKS
- We will post one or two chapters of a book on electronic reserves.
- If the percentage of any title requested is over 20%, we will try to purchase an electronic version of the book, and make a link to that from EReserves.
- If we can't find an electronic version of the book, then we will put the print book on traditional reserves for students to check out.
- We recommend you work with the bookstore so that students can purchase the book.
JOURNAL ARTICLES
- For all articles in journals licensed by Penrose, we will create a link to the article online.
- If we do not have an online version of the article, we will post a scanned copy on e-reserve. One article from an issue of a journal is fair use, but two articles will require a permission request and copyright fees, which Penrose will cover.
- For more than two articles from a single issue, we will either put the paper volume on traditional reserves, or ask you to work with the bookstore to create a course-pack for purchase.
CONSECUTIVE USE
- When you use the same readings for the same courses in consecutive quarters, we need to process these for copyright permissions in order to post your readings on e-reserves. We will do this for you, and we will cover the permission fees.
- Consecutive quarter postings can become very expensive (roughly $140 per reading) we recommend that rather than putting materials on e-reserve two or more quarters in a row, that you work with the bookstore to create course-packs for purchase.
RE-ACTIVATING
- We check all links, scans, and copyright compliance when reactivating a course. At times, this can take as long as setting up a new reserves.
