Abstract: | Abstract Copyright permissions for reserves at Washington State University Vancouver have always been the responsibility of the instructor who submits the reserve request. Concerned that this practice could, at worst, place the University in danger of infringing copyright and, at best, in unnecessary duplication of effort, the Library undertook a pilot study to find out what would be involved, both in terms of workflow and direct costs, for moving copyright clearance to the Library. In cooperation with the Business department, the Library developed workable procedures for the Library to handle permissions. |
