Introduction
What is Copyright Law?
Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17 of the United States Code) governs the making of copies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials. The making of an electronic copy of copyrighted work by any means, (e.g. scanning, digitizing, ripping, etc.) constitutes reproduction that is governed by Copyright law.
Introduction
The librarians at Francis A. Drexel Library at Saint
Joseph's University have compiled this copyright guide to assist
students, faculty, and staff in understanding and complying with
current United States Copyright laws and provisions. This is not a
static guide, but will be updated as copyright laws and interpretations
change. The information provided here should serve as a general
guideline regarding copyright issues and should not be taken as legal
advice. Each library patron is ultimately responsible for ensuring
that his or her use of authored materials does not exceed the scope of
fair use as defined by United States copyright law. Library patrons
who are not in compliance with the following copyright policy and/or
federal copyright law shall assume any resulting liability. For a more detailed overview of the University's response to copyright, please see the Copyright Policy, located on Saint Joseph's Higher Education Opportunity Act website.
This is not a legal document, and should not be construed as legal advice.
