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

All requests must be marked “CCL” — indicating the requestor complies with copyright law, or “CCG” — indicating compliance with copyright guidelines (see CONTU).

For special orders of reproductions of material in the general Cornell collection, please contact Olin Interlibrary Services at olin-ils@cornell.edu for further information. Estimates for purchase will be furnished upon request. See below for information regarding reproductions of Cornell theses and dissertations.

Masters Theses and Doctoral dissertations: Most are available to borrow, see lending policies above. Pre-June1954 dissertations are available for purchase. June 1954 to present are available from ProQuest only. Most masters theses are available for purchase. Contact the Rare and Manuscripts Collection to inquire about purchasing a reproduction of theses or dissertations.

The Cornell Library will provide an affidavit for Cornell-related material only. Please inquire with olin-ils@cornell.edu with any questions. The following conditions apply:

The affidavit will establish that the provided reproductions are accurate copies of materials found in the Cornell University Library.

The requesting patron/library must inform Interlibrary Services at the point of request if an affidavit will be needed. Any request for an affidavit after the request has been fulfilled will require a new request for the material.

All requests must be marked “CCL” — indicating the requestor complies with copyright law.

Each individual article request will require payment of $100 for the affidavit, in addition to the standard interlibrary loan fee (see above for fees.) Requests lacking sufficient maximum cost will be returned unsearched.
