Faculty and staff request the assistance
of the Copyright Permissions Center by submitting a copyright permission
request for each source where permission is needed. Source information
sheets are available for use and may be obtained from the Copyright
Permissions Center, any Printing
Services Copy Center location, or download
the form in PDF format. You may submit a syllabus or other documentation
provided it contains complete bibliographic information, including
page numbers. You may also submit requests
online by following the directions listed. Information is entered
into our database and letters to publishers are sent out within 24
hours of submission in most instances.
For best results, please allow approximately
6 weeks for your permissions to be obtained. While some permissions
may be granted within a day or two, others can take a month or more.
This is especially true when requesting clearance for electronic or
special projects. You may consult Publishers
and Journals: A Guide to Fees and Response Times provided free
of charge by the Copyright Permissions Center or the
Copyright Clearance Center's title database (when directed to
the Copyright Clearance Center's homepage through this link, click
"find title " from the top menu bar to access the title database)
for information regarding response times and royalty costs. Please
note: The Copyright Clearance Center database is for estimation
purposes only. Please submit any requests directly through our office.
During the permissions process, you will be updated periodically regarding any hold-ups or problems. After all permissions have been obtained, you will be notified and sent a pdf itemizing royalty costs. Of course, you are free to make any content changes you wish. Bear in
mind that regardless of the type of work, reproduction cannot occur
until positive permission is received. If you obtain your own permissions,
documentation of these agreements will be required for Printing Services
Copy Centers to reproduce the material.
Complete bibliographic information
for each item submitted is required to process your requests. Please
be aware that publishers will not respond to incomplete requests.
If you are missing information, check the original publication. If
that's not available, try looking it up in University Libraries Online Catalogs.
Due to the large volume of requests handled by the Copyright Permissions
Center, completed requests will be handled first. Any detective work
left to our staff can significantly delay the submission of your requests.
If you are requesting material from
an anthology, it is likely that the publisher of the anthology does
not control rights to the material. You must check for a citation
of the original source, either from the acknowledgments page or at
the beginning or end of the selection. If there is an alternate citation,
please provide both sets of complete information (i.e., as it appears
in the anthology and as it is listed in the acknowledgment). This
will assist us in identifying the appropriate rightsholder.
Remember, you must obtain permission
each time an item is used. However, once our office has processed
your requests, all source information will be kept on file. If you
reuse material at a later date, you will only need to contact the
Copyright Permissions Center, let us know the last time the material
was used and the number of copies you will need, and we will call
up the information from our database. Of course, you will need to
alert us to any changes or additions to the material.
