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 reproduction. One of these
specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be
"used for purposes other than private study, scholarship, or research."
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.
