| The copyright law of the United States (Title 17,
United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other
reproductions
of copyrighted materials. 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. |
