The ©opyright Permissions Center

The Copyright Permissions Center is a division of Printing Services and a comprehensive permission service established for the University of Minnesota in 1992. The Copyright Permissions Center works closely with publishers, rightsholders, and the University of Minnesota Office of the General Counsel to ensure proper use of copyrighted materials. The center, in conjunction with Printing Services Copy Centers, has also partnered with University Bookstores and University Libraries to facilitate the dissemination of copyrighted material through course packets and library reserve. Additionally, we assist in reviewing material and securing permission when needed for copyrighted materials to be used in books, theses, workshops, seminars, multimedia projects, websites, and all types of departmental activities.

The Copyright Permissions Center has two staff members with extensive knowledge of copyright laws and experience with the permissions process. Each year we process over 10,000 permissions requests utilizing a database comprised of over 3,500 publishers and rightsholders. The center is registered with Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) and has agreements with several large publishers, including Harvard Business School Publishing and the American Psychological Association, enabling us to offer immediate clearance on registered works.
