Photocopying and Guidelines for Classroom Copying
SCS faculty may use photocopying machines on the sixth and seventh floors of Wieboldt Hall in Chicago, 405 Church Street in Evanston, or the 16th floor of the LOOP.
Faculty must observe the "fair use" guidelines
printed below when making copies of copyrighted material.
Appropriate codes must be entered to access the copier.
These codes are available at each SCS office near the copier.
If a request exceeds 25 pages per student, the job should
be duplicated by the University bookstores (Chicago Campus:
(312) 503-8486, Evanston Campus: (847) 491-3990). The University
bookstores will make arrangements to secure copyrights and
to print and sell the course packets. See the bookstores
and textbook ordering page.
Copying Guidelines
SCS recommends that faculty members adhere closely to the
following guidelines. Some materials may be duplicated
for classroom use or discussion without prior permission
of the copyright holder under certain conditions designed
to reflect common educational needs. For example:
- One copy of a book chapter, article, short story or
the like may be reprinted for the faculty member's use.
- One copy per student from a copyrighted work may be
reproduced if it meets with the tests of:
- Brevity: In the guidelines, word counts are given
for different kinds of copyrighted works.
- Spontaneity:
The faculty member may make such copies if there is
insufficient time for him or her to contact the
copyright holder for permission under the circumstances.
- Cumulative
Effect: Except for those items of "news",
the guidelines limit the number of times these copies can
be made during a class term.
- Consumable materials such as
test sheets, answer booklets, and workbooks may not
be copied.
- Copying is not permitted to create anthologies
or similar collections of materials from a variety of
copyrighted works.
If the copy in question does not meet these tests, the instructor
must obtain permission from the copyright holder. The University
bookstores will assist in this process.
