In providing reserve materials to Alfred University students, the libraries are bound by copyright law. If you have questions about copyright law as it relates to course reserves, contact Brian Sullivan at 607-871-2268 or sullivan@alfred.edu.
Copyright law forbids redistribution of scanned course materials unless permission from the copyright holder has been obtained, the work is out of copyright, or a careful fair use analysis has been undertaken. Faculty members are personally responsible under University policy for respecting copyright, including their delivery of materials to students through course reserves.
