The following copyright guidelines apply to the
libraries' reserve collection services to the extent the collection
functions as an extension of classroom readings or reflects an
individual student's right to copy for his/her personal scholastic
use under the doctrine of fair use:
- All use of materials placed on reserves will be at the
initiative of faculty solely for the non-commercial, educational
and research use of students.
- Faculty members are responsible for securing necessary
copyright permissions.
- The amount of material in the reserve collection for a course
should be reasonable in relation to the total amount of material
assigned for one term of a course taking into account the nature of
the course, its subject matter and level.
- There will be no charge for access; the charge for copies made
by students will be limited to the cost of printing as established
by university policy.
- The library will place a copyright notice on the cover sheet of
printed reserve materials, on the first page of printed materials
scanned and placed in the Electronic Reserves Collection and in the
online reserve system to indicate that materials may be covered by
copyright law.
- Materials in the Electronic Reserve Collection accessible via
the Electronic Reserves system will be password protected so that
only members of the St. John's University community will
have access to materials in the Electronic Reserves
Collection.
- Print and electronic files will be removed from the reserve
system when they are no longer used for reserve services or if
continued use exceeds fair use.
