Books, Manuals, Workbooks
We cannot copy an entire book, manual, or workbook without written authorization from the publisher.
Sections of Books, Manuals, Workbooks, or Periodicals
We cannot copy more than one chapter or article out of any copyrighted book, manual, workbook, or periodical for teaching purposes without written authorization from the publisher.
If a work was published before 1906, or is not copyrighted, it may be copied to an extent the customer desires.
We reserve the right to question or deny copying requests which appear to violate copyright laws.
Photocopy Usage
The copyright law of the United States, codified at 17 United States Code, governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.
Under certain conditions specified in law, a photcopy of other reproductions may be made.
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. (Adapted from 37 C.F.R. 201.14)
This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a photocopy order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order will involve violation of copyright law.
"Free Copy" Policies
A week runs from opening of business Monday until close of business Sunday.
Organizations must be in "good standing" to be eligible.
Materials being copied must be for organizational use only.
Personal copies are not allowed under the 100 free.
An organization may give their weekly free copies to another organization by using a "copy waiver form" with the proper signatures. This form is available in the Student Organization / Greek Life Center.
Options Include:
100 single sided black and white photocopies on white 8.5x11 paper.
50 double sided black and white photocopies on white 8.5x11 paper.
Credit towards black and white photocopies on colored papers available at Union Services (any additional cost will be charged to the organization requesting the service).
Lamination
Lamination should be considered a permanent process.
The quality of our lamination is usually superb, but should a project, poster, etc. be damaged or ruined during the lamination process due to human or machine error, replacement is limited to lamination only.
If an item is valuable, priceless, or irreplaceable, the risk should be considered carefully by the customer before the lamination process is ordered.
