Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions
The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.
Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproductions.
One of these special conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be used for any purpose other than private study or any fair use as defined in Section 107 of the U. S. Copyright Law.
If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of fair use, that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
Responsibility for observance of copyright rests with the applicant and not with Xavier University archives, special, or digital collections.
See also the Xavier University Copyright Policy.
The materials in Xavier University library archives, special, and digital collections may be used by individuals for private study or any fair use as defined in Section 107 of the U. S. Copyright Law. Please credit the creator (if known) as well as Xavier University Archives and Special Collections, Cincinnati, Ohio.
These materials may not be used for purposes that do not qualify as fair use and they may not be transferred, recopied, exhibited, displayed, broadcast, or published in print or digital form without first obtaining permission from the copyright holder. In many cases Xavier University can claim only physical ownership of these materials and it is the obligation of the applicant to fulfill any requirements of copyright law. In addition, use of some materials may infringe upon the rights of copyright holders unknown to Xavier University and the applicant is responsible for satisfying any claims of the copyright holder. The applicant shall indemnify and hold harmless Xavier University archives, special, or digital collections against any and all claims by third parties. To obtain permission see the Request Form to Publish/Exhibit/Display Materials.
Requests will be reviewed and answered regarding the permission and publication fees. Please allow up to two weeks for permission authorization.
