Libraries and Copyright
Overview: Libraries are deeply involved with copyright issues as they acquire new works and as they make library collections available for research and study. Many of the issues of greatest interest are questions of "fair use." Some library activities are governed by Section 108 of the U.S. Copyright Act, which may apply when the library is making copies of materials for preservation, for a patron's private study, or for sending or receiving in the name of interlibrary loans. Librarians also need to understand copyright law when they negotiate and enter into agreements for the acquisition of new materials for the library collection.
