Copyright laws restrict frequency of use and types of sources that can be reproduced electronically; thus, many of these stipulations are non-negotiable.
Instructors should review the Copyright Checklist and the Copyright Law published by the United States Copyright Office to determine whether content usage is allowable.
The UofL Libraries reserve the right to refuse requests that conflict with the UofL Libraries' interpretation of copyright law.
