Copyright Law and Scanning Casebooks

Last year the Law Library added a public photocopier which does photocopying in black and white or color.  It also does scanning which can be downloaded to a thumb drive.  Copying is 7 cents for black and white and 20 cents for color.

In using this photocopier one is required to follow the U.S. laws regarding copyright.  Generally scanning a law school casebook to a thumb drive and then distributing copies of the digital image would violate the law.  Such scanning and distribution by a law student could be grounds for a honor code violation.  If you have any questions about what is permissible to do using the Law Library’s photocopier please contact one of the librarians.

For more information about copyright policies of the University see the following link.  This web site goes into some detail about what is permissible to copy.
