- Instructors are responsible for determining if their use of copyrighted material falls within Fair Use or if they need to obtain permission to use the material. Visit the Libraries’ Copyright website for information on how to make this determination.
- By submitting a reserve request, the instructor accepts responsibility for copyright compliance. The Libraries may refuse materials for reserve, or remove materials already on reserve, for legal or administrative concerns.
- All published material must be accompanied by a complete citation. Published material will not be processed for reserve until a complete citation (including UI call number when applicable) is provided.
- If a complete citation is not included and staff must obtain it, processing time will be substantially slowed.
