Copyright Restrictions
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 a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction not be "used for any purposes 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 copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
Copyright Restrictions Specific to ILL
Under the 1976 Copyright Law specific restrictions may apply to materials that may be obtained through ILL. The two most common limitations are: no more than one article from any single periodical ISSUE, within the last five years, may be received per calendar year and no more than five articles from any single periodical TITLE within the last five years, may be received per calendar year.
