Use of Library Materials
All researchers must complete a Registration Form before any research may begin. Access to the collection is via the card catalog. A staff member will provide requested materials.
Users are asked to handle the materials carefully and to use a pencil when taking notes. Laptop computers and recorders are allowed in the Research Reading Room.
Materials will not be lent for use off the premises. Select research materials may be photocopied.
Duplication
All copies will be made by staff members. Entire collections, files and extensive personal papers cannot be copied due to copyright restrictions. Copies of other materials may be withheld at the Library’s discretion, such as those restricted by deposit provision or materials likely to be damaged by duplication.
In order to preserve the collection, photos and maps cannot be copied. If you are interested, ask about our photograph reproduction service. Researchers cannot photograph, scan or digitize any materials in the collection. Copies are granted as aids to research only, and do not imply publishing rights.
Publication
The user is responsible for securing permission to publish materials in the Library’s collection and to adhere to laws on literary property rights and copyright.
Note that literary property rights are not conveyed with a copy. Literary property rights state that the writer of an unpublished letter or document has the sole right to publish its contents unless he expressly gives up this right. The right descends to his legal heirs regardless of the physical ownership of the document. Securing permission to publish from the writer or his heirs is the responsibility of the user. The user is also cautioned that material reproduced in a copy may be protected by copyright. The user assumes all responsibility for infringements thereof.
Publications based on research from John M. Longyear Library materials should be reported and credited to the Library. Copies of such publications should be provided for inclusion in the J. M. Longyear Library, as this enhances the usefulness of the Library. |
