Copyright Policy

We cannot process the following types of copying without written permission:

• Books/Manuals/Workbooks
  Entire books, manuals, or workbooks cannot be duplicated, even if it is only one copy, unless the book was published before 1906 and/or is not copyrighted.
• A section of a Book/Manual/Workbook/Periodical
  A section of books, manuals, workbooks, or periodicals cannot be duplicated if it is more than one chapter or one article, unless the book was published before 1906 and/or is not copyrighted. Copies can be made of one chapter, article or less for teaching purposes.

We may also question other copying requests that appear to violate the copyright laws. As long as permission has been obtained from the publisher, copyrighted material may be duplicated.

If copyrighted documents are duplicated off campus, retain a copy of the authorization letter they obtained from the publisher to verify compliance with all copyright laws.

Material that is duplicated by us and sold to the students must be distributed through the University of North Dakota Bookstore. The proper procedure is:
1) Requisitions must originate on a standard textbook requisition form provided by the Bookstore.
2) Requisitions are to be forwarded to the Bookstore where the determination of the number of copies to be purchased will be made.
3) The Bookstore will then issue a purchase order to us for the number of copies printed.
