property laws of the United States may govern the making of
photocopies or other reproductions of content. Under 17 U.S.C. §
108(f)(2) the provision of unsupervised photocopy or reproducing
equipment for use by patrons does not excuse the person who uses
the reproduction equipment from liability for copyright infringement for
any such act, or for any later use of such copy or phonorecord, if it
exceeds fair use as provided by 17 U.S.C. § 107. Nor does it excuse
the person who uses the reproducing equipment from liability for
patent, tort or other laws.
This institution reserves the right to refuse to make available or provide
access to photocopy or other reproducing equipment if, in its judgment,
use of such equipment would involve violation of copyright, patent or
other laws.
