The
copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish photocopy or other reproductions. One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of “fair use,” that user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a duplication order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
- ASCDI reserves the right to decide what materials are available for use and reproduction and what form that reproduction may take.
- ASCDI also reserves the right to refuse duplication if, in their judgment, fulfillment of the order affects the condition, confidentiality, or copyright of the material.
- ASCDI staff reserves the right to refuse duplication of materials that may violate ITAR, EAR, or other export control regulations.
- Users are responsible for determining whether materials from ASCDI or materials outside the collection require permissions from the copyright holder.
