All requests for reproductions of University of South Carolina Special Collections Libraries’ materials will be
considered on a case-by-case basis. To request copies of an image or images or permission for a specific use,
please contact the appropriate holding library. Provision of copies for “personal research use” does not
guarantee future permission to publish.
The prime considerations for decisions on reproductions are the condition of the item to be copied or reproduced,
the nature of any third-party rights or interest in the item(s), and the purposes for which the images are
requested.
1.
Users who wish to include a copy (in any format) obtained from materials held by the University of South
Carolina Special Collections Libraries in publications, web pages or other electronic media, films, exhibits, etc.,
must first obtain written permission from the holding library.
2.
It is the responsibility of the applicant to obtain any required copyright permissions from the copyright holder or
other necessary third party permissions. 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 any purpose 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" or any other exception to the copyright law, that user may be liable for
infringement. This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment,
fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
In the case of material that is still in copyright, or in which it is otherwise likely that a third party has rights, it is the
university libraries’ policy to require that an applicant get written permission from the relevant rights holder before
any images are supplied for publication in any medium.
3.
Permissions to reproduce materials and distribute reproductions are limited to the uses specified in the
applicant's request and the conditions therein. The applicant agrees not to further reproduce, sell, share, or give
the specified reproductions to another person, company, or institution for any purpose without the written
permission of the University of South Carolina Libraries. Note that the University Libraries’ permission is
given only insofar as the libraries have rights as owners of the material that is to be published or
otherwise reproduced and so is additional to, not a substitute for, any publication or reproduction
permission that may be needed from third parties (as outlined in section 3 above).
4.
Where the application is for web use or other electronic distribution, the applicant agrees to a specific method of
deterring third party misuse of the images. This should be discussed and agreed upon with the holding library.
5.
It is the policy of University of South Carolina Special Collection Libraries to assess a fee for some uses of USC
library materials. Fees are intended to offset a small part of the Libraries’ costs associated with processing,
preserving, and providing access to the Libraries’ collections. Please see the holding library’s web site for their
reproduction fees.
6.
The proposed publication must result in a suitable presentation of the original image. Superimposition of text,
cropping, bleeding, the addition of color, or other alterations require special written permission from the specific
holding library within University of South Carolina Libraries.
7.
The applicant will defend and hold harmless University of South Carolina Libraries, University of South Carolina,
its officers, employees, agents, and members of its governing boards against all claims, demands, costs, and
expenses, including attorneys' fees, incurred for copyright infringements or any other legal or regulatory cause of
action arising from use of University of South Carolina Libraries’ materials.
