Permission Info

Permission must be granted for all e-reserves or multiple copies placed on print reserves along with classroom handouts or items posted on course management systems.
The library will seek permission for all materials used through the library's eReserve service.

Contact Conni Shaw (clshaw@gcc.edu or x3842)

Checking Permissions

Use the 'RightFind Academic Search" feature to search for permissions.  If the item you want to use is in the license program, contact Conni Shaw for further instructions before use.  (We keep usage records for compliance verification). 

If an item you want to use is not licensed under the annual fee program, contact Mrs. Shaw for assistance.

Reminders:

Make your requests early enough for permission to be acquired.  Permission may be denied or not available.

Permissions are granted one semester at a time through CCC.  Remember to check each new semester to confirm that rights have not changed before you post, copy, or hand out any materials.

Buhl's Position on Fair Use

In our experience here at Buhl Library, fair use always falls short of the criteria used to determine "fair use."  Therefore, we prefer to take a cautious stand and always secure copyright compliance via the Copyright Clearance Center, individual publishers, or rightsholders. We will not post the document or reading on our website if we cannot secure copyright compliance.
