state Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproduction
of copyrighted material. Under certain conditions specified
in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish
a photocopy or other reproductions. One of these specified conditions
is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be used for
any other purpose other than private study, scholarship, or
research. If electronic transmission of reserve material is
used for purposes in excess of what constitutes "fair use",
that user may be liable for copyright restrictions or permission
has been granted by the publisher.

Material on electronic reserve will be accessed by course number,
professor name and document title.
-
At the end of each semester, all material on electronic reserve
will be removed unless it does not fall under copyright restrictions
or permission has been granted by the publisher. In the case
of students with incompletes the instructor must notify the
circulation staff to extend access to those needed course materials.
