Dartmouth Library Services & Copyright

Library Course Reserves	The Library follows the principles of fair-use when placing materials on course reserve for instructors. When fair-use cannot be applied, the Library will request and secure copyright permission for the material. Library staff will consult with the instructor on alternative access to materials if the copyright permission cannot be obtained or if the permission fees are exorbitant.
Blackboard Courses	The library does not provide any copyright services to faculty for materials placed on a course web site or on Blackboard. Instructors should consult the Guidelines for Online Use of Course Materials to become familiar with the circumstances under which they may, consistent with the Copyright Law, place course materials on course web sites.
Jones Media Center	All media projects must be compliant with current Dartmouth policy and Federal copyright rules, laws, and regulations.
Photocopying & Scanning	The Library posts the a copyright statement on the self-service photocopiers and scanners throughout the library to alert patrons to the legal uses of photocopied or scanned material.
