The materials placed on reserve by faculty at Lewis-Clark State College must comply with provisions in the
United States Copyright Act of 1976, Section 107 and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA)
of 1974.

Under fair use guidelines, faculty and the library are permitted to provide students with access to supplemental
materials for coursework.  At LCSC, "Fair Use" of copyrighted material is generally defined as the one time use of:

1.  Single article from an issue of a periodical or newspaper

 

2.  Single chapter from a book

 

3.  Short story, essay or poem

 

4.  Single graphic representation-chart, diagram, cartoon, illustration

 

5.  Legally acquired video or music recording
 

Repeated use extending longer than two consecutive semesters of an item that is not owned by either the faculty member or the library requires special permission from the copyright holder, which the library will be happy to facilitate using the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC).  When possible, the library will purchase licensing permission priced at $100.00 or less per item from the CCC.  The item will be placed on reserve while copyright permission is being obtained, but if permission is denied by the Copyright Clearance Center, it will be removed from the reserve collection.  All materials will be removed from Reserve at the end of each term.
