For the most part these are for journal articles, chapters from books, or articles within a collected work (e.g. Source Readings in Music History).

• CCG criteria (Copyright Compliance - Guidelines)

  • Starts over every January 1

  • Works published within the last 5 years

    • March 2009 = April 2004 - March 2009

    • April 2009 = May 2004 - April 2009

  • The first five articles from a journal title published in the above years fall under copyright guidelines, after this royalty fees must be paid

  • The first article per issue (not volume) of a journal (or chapter/article from a book) falls under copyright guidelines, after this royalty fees must be paid

    • If a single patron requests 2 articles from a single issue, one will fall under the copyright guidelines and the library will pay for the other.

    • If a single patron sends 3 or more requests from a single issue, we can try to borrow the whole issue (BRI, for example, will lend periodicals more than 6 months old) or send all the requests back with the copyright letter telling the patron how much each article above the two they get for free will cost.

  • Rule of 5 (Each calendar year we can request up to 5 articles published within the last 5 years from a given journal without paying a copyright fee to that publisher. This is a rule of thumb, not law.)

• CCL criteria (Copyright Compliance - Law)

  • Anything published prior to the CCG years (see above criteria)

  • No royalty fees are paid on these materials, unless a single user requests more than one article from a single issue of a given journal within a calendar year.

• CCC criteria (Copyright Clearance Center)

  • Article #6 or greater from a title published within the last five years (we have used up CCG for a particular title)

  • 2 or more articles from the same issue of a journal (or chapters/articles from a book)

  • Royalties will be paid through the Copyright Clearance Center whenever possible
