Copyright and the Library
Please be aware that many of the resources you find on the Internet
are copyright protected. The U.S. Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. ยงยง101-801,
gives the owner of the copyright the exclusive right to reproduce,
distribute, sell, perform or publicly display the copyrighted work.
You may use all or part of a copyrighted work only if you have the
copyright owner's permission or your use falls under a legal exemption.
Although the Internet is a different medium than printed text, ownership
and intellectual property rights still exist. Check the documents
you are viewing for appropriate statements indicating copyright ownership
and what the person or entity holding those rights is asserting.
Remember, it is your responsibility to respect these rights including
all copyrights. NOTE: The CSU Library will be developing a Copyright
Web Site to assist faculty, staff and students with copyright questions
and to build an understanding of copyright issues as they affect
the academic community.
Further rights information relating to reserving material in the
library is found in this statement of copyright guidelines.
