The copyright protections that are normally associated with print also govern the use of audio, video, images, and text on the Internet. The intuitive interface of the Internet make it easy for the computer user to copy and use images, text, video and other graphics that are likely to be protected by copyright. A document may be copyrighted even if it does not explicitly state that it is copyrighted. Educators can avoid copyright violations and legally use copyrighted materials if they understand and comply with the fair use guidelines.
The library does not charge overdue fines for books. When a book is 14 days overdue, a replacement fee will be assessed which must be paid before additional items can be borrowed. The replacement fee can be reversed when the item is returned. The library cannot reverse a charge for items that have been already replaced.
The Library will add fees to a user’s student account. Students must pay all costs associated with lost items in full before any additional items can be checked out. Staff and faculty will be invoiced directly.
