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 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
reserved the right to refuse to accept a copying
order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order
would involve violation of copyright law.
