PERMISSIONS
COPYRIGHT STATUS
Many of the digital resources here were created from public domain materials -that is, materials not protected by
copyright. However, in many other cases the materials are still within copyright and the owners have only granted
permissions for access and preservation. This is the case for many modern materials, including artworks, newspapers,
books, oral histories, journals, and more.
Additionally, there are many materials for cases where the rights holder and status was not clear, and so the
contributing institution followed normal due diligence to locate the rights holder and, finding none, digitized the materials
for access and preservation with a note for any rights holder, if found, to contact the institution. Also, a number of
materials have been digitized from the US for creation and presentation as part of a new work, supported as a
transformative creation of works under US copyright.
For questions on the status of any materials or for more information on any procedures, please contact us.
PERMISSIONS OVERVIEW
The SobekCM system -here powering the University of Florida Digital Collections (UFDC), the Digital Library of the
Caribbean (dLOC), and many other digital collections -holds digital resources made from source materials contributed
by libraries, archives and museums of the University of Florida and its many partner institutions.
Many of the digital resources were created from public domain materials -that is, materials not protected by copyright.
However, in many other cases the materials are still within copyright and the owners have only granted permissions to
the University of Florida for Internet Distribution. Moral, cultural heritage, and other rights may be present in addition to
copyright. Copyright laws vary by country and type of material, so the information here cannot address the complexity of
the law. Users are responsible for respecting all copyright restrictions.
Fair Use is explicitly supported and encouraged for materials. As with all uses within Fair Use, proper citation/attribution
should be included.
Proper attribution should include sufficient information for someone else to identify and locate the resource (e.g. title
and permanent link) and to identify the source institution (listed in the "citation" tab).
Before using any materials for uses other than those expressly permitted by Fair Use, please contact us.
FAIR USE
Unless additional restrictions are noted, copyrighted electronic materials in this collection may be used for research,
instruction, and private study under the provisions of Fair Use. Fair Use is a provision of United States Copyright Law
(United States Code, Title 17, section 107) which allows limited use of copyrighted materials under certain conditions.
The text for Fair Use, current as of December 2011, is:
§107 · Limitations on exclusive rights: Fair use
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections 106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including
such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any other means specified by that section, for
purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom
use), scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use made of
a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include—
(1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for
nonprofit educational purposes
(2) the nature of the copyrighted work
(3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole and
(4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.
