Part IV, Chapter VIII

Sec. 187. Reproduction of Published Work

187.1 Notwithstanding the provision of Section 177, and subject to the provisions of Subsection 187.2, the private reproduction of published work in a single copy, where the reproduction is made by a natural person exclusively for research and private study, shall be permitted, without the authorization of the owner of copyright in the work.

187.2 The permission granted under Subsection 187.1 shall not extend to the reproduction of:

A work of architecture in the form of a building or other construction;

An entire book, or a substantial part thereof, or of a musical work in which graphics form by reprographic means;

A compilation of data and other materials;

A computer program except as provided in Section 189; and

Sec. 188. Reprographic Reproduction by Libraries

188.1 Notwithstanding the provisions of Subsection 177.6, any library or archive whose activities are not for profit may, without the authorization of the author or copyright owner, make a single copy of the work by reprographic reproduction:

Where the work by reason of its fragile character or rarity cannot be lent to user in its original form;

Where the works are isolated articles contained in composite works or brief portions of other published works and the reproduction is necessary to supply them; when this is considered expedient, to person requesting their loan for purposes of research or study instead of lending the volumes or booklets which contain them; and

Where the making of such a copy is in order to preserve and, if necessary in the event that it is lost, destroyed or rendered unusable, replace coy, or to replace, in the permanent collection of another similar library or archive, a copy which has been lost, destroyed or rendered unusable and copies are not available with the publisher.

188.2 Notwithstanding the above provisions, It shall not be permissible to produce a volume of a work published in several volumes or to produce missing tomes or pages of magazines or similar works unless the volume, tome or part is out of stock; Provided, That every library which, by law, is entitled to receive copies of a printed work, shall be entitled, when special reasons so require, to reproduce a copy of a published work which is considered necessary for the collection of the library but which is out of stock. (Sec. 13, P.D. 49a)
