2.6.15 Copying & Printing
Little Dixie Regional Libraries sets the price for photocopies, including microfilm and computer printer output at 15 cents per page for black and white copies and 50 cents for color copies.
LDRL reserves the right to increase the base charge of such copies to offset the additional cost of providing copies, including establishing new charges for color copies or other technological innovations which have higher costs to the Libraries. Increases in charges necessitated by cost increases shall be publicly posted for at least thirty days before the adoption of a new price schedule.
The Copyright Law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproduction of copyrighted materials. 17 USC Section 107 establishes the principle, commonly called "fair use," that the reproduction of copyrighted works for certain limited, educational purposes does not constitute copyright infringement.
Copyright protection is not only associated with print materials but also governs the use of audio, video, images and text on the Internet. Using library resources to copy and distribute copyright protected materials may be an infringement of copyright law. It is the intent of LDRL to adhere to the provisions of the U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17 U.S. Code).
