Dear Faculty:

I am following up with the e-mail that was sent out at the end of June. If you have not already done so, please submit your requests for copyright permission for the fall semester.

As you may know, Faculty Support supports an all-electronic copyright request system. This system helps eliminate needless waste from printed forms, streamlines the process, and saves all of your information in an online database for future reference. The online form can be found at:
http://www.law.georgetown.edu/forms/form.cfm?FormID=342.

You will need to submit a form for each individual request. To save time, submit the request, then use the “back” button on your browser to re-access the form. This will leave all of the fields filled in, and you can change the information for each particular text without having to reenter your course information each time.

Please note:

·         Per our 2014 Copyright Policy, we will not process requests for any materials available free online or through library resources or databases. You should instead provide your students with links to these materials rather than the text itself. Please see the attached Copyright Policy and Guidelines for further information.

·         The exact page range of your article or excerpt is essential. Even in cases where you are using all of a given article, we need to know the first and last page numbers. We pay publishers by the page, and they will not look this up for us. Please note that if a request is submitted without an exact page range, we will be unable to process it.

·         It’s helpful to have all of the requested information on the form. For books, ISBNs are the absolute best way for us to make sure we are requesting permission for the correct book (especially in those cases where a book has more than one edition). All books have an ISBN number—it can be found on the same page as the publisher’s information, prior to the table of contents.

·         For information about what materials do and do not require copyright permission and to determine fair use, please see: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/campus-services/faculty-

Feel free to contact me with specific questions or concerns. I look forward to receiving your requests!

Best,
Anna
