How much does copyright permission cost, and who will pay?
The cost of obtaining copyright permission varies from one copyright holder to another, and in most cases depends on the number of pages copied and the number of copies made. Copyright fees can be significant. To support faculty and staff in compliance with the new copyright policy, Carleton has introduced new procedures designed to assist you with the permissions step, and has established a fund to help defray copyright permissions costs for materials placed on eReserve. For materials placed on eReserve, the Library will obtain copyright permission and fees will be covered by the College. Copyright fees for materials included in coursepacks handled by the Bookstore are covered through the sales of the coursepacks. Copyright fees for materials not handled by the Library or the Bookstore are the responsibility of the individual or department seeking copyright permission.
