Copyright Compliance Agreement

COPYRIGHT COMPLIANCE - PLEASE COMPLETE AND RETURN THIS FORM TO THE LIBRARY
The copyright law (Title 17, U.S. Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Copies for Reserve must be made in compliance with the “fair use” provisions of Section 107 and with the policies of Tarleton State University.

FAIR USE

In support of Tarleton courses, the Dick Smith Library maintains both a print and electronic reserve collection following the guidelines of 17 U.S.C. Section 107. Placing materials on reserve will be at the initiative of the faculty solely for the non-commercial, educational usage of the students. Personal copies for reserve use must be made in compliance with the four “fair use” principles:

1. The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for non-profit, educational purposes;

2. The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;

3. The nature of the copyrighted work; and

4. The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

All four factors are considered, but the last factor is the most important in determining whether a particular use is “fair.”
