There are several
ways to obtain copyright permission. You may try to get permission
directly from the copyright holder or you may use a service such as the Copyright
Clearance Center. NSCC faculty and staff are responsible for seeking their
own permissions. The NSCC bookstore has a service that can be used for permission
for course packs.
Permission must be obtained each time an item is used unless a blanket permission
has been secured. Complete documentation of all permissions, denials, and
other correspondence should be kept for several years.
Using the Copyright
Clearance Center (CCC)
The Copyright Clearance Center is fee-based and requires that an
account be established. The information needed to identify the specific material
you want to use will usually be displayed on the copyright notice page of
the original (e.g., title, author, date, ISBN or ISSN numbers). See the Copyright
Clearance Center web site, or contact them by
phone 978-750-8400, or email info@copyright.com.
Applying for direct
permission
It can be cheaper, but sometimes more difficult, to obtain permission directly
from the copyright holder. Remember to allow sufficient lead time for the
author or publisher to respond to the request. Having complete and accurate
information will facilitate the request. When requesting permission to duplicate
include a complete bibliographic citation of the material to be used, including
title, author and/or editor, copyright or publication date, volume and/or
issue and/or edition of the publication, chapter or article title, exact page
numbers of the material to be used, and number of copies to be made. Also
indicate the type of use to be made of the copies (e.g., course material).
If you are having difficulty obtaining addresses or telephone numbers of publishers, there are a variety of directories that a reference librarian may be able to help you with.
Course packs
The bookstore will obtain permissions for any materials in your course packs
that are not your original creations. Please allow at least three weeks before
the quarter. See Course Packs
for more information.
Library reserves
and e-reserves
Faculty need to have copyright
permission for any materials they request to be put on reserve in the library
that do not fall under fair use guidelines. See the Reserves
section for more information.
