Last Revised: 1/9/2004
Responsible Employees: Circulation and Staff

1. The Law Library provides, for a fee, photocopies, faxes, or scanned materials to individual patrons under select circumstances.  (For requests from libraries, see  Interlibrary Loan Policy.  Individuals may request:

                   a. unannotated cases, statutes, and other materials not protected by copyright, intended for any use; and
                   b. copyrighted materials intended for fair use as defined by federal law.

2. Requests for materials should come through the web link on the Law Library's home page.  This requirement satisfies the need to inform the patron about charges and copyright requirements.  If the request cannot be submitted via the web link, no materials shall be provided unless the patron expressly accepts responsibility for all charges, and acknowledges that the purpose of the material is fair use.

3. The patron must provide the complete citation of the requested material; Law Library staff do not do research to find citations.

4. Charges for document delivery are limited to reasonable estimates of cost recovery for providing the service.  The Law Library does not require payment in advance.

5. Records of document delivery transactions shall be retained for three years.
