CORNELL UNIVERSITY LIBRARY COPYRIGHT SERVICES
The Cornell University Library collaborates with the Office of Information Technology, Cornell Information Technologies, Office of the University Counsel, and The Cornell Store in developing and providing a suite of copyright services. These are primarily focused on helping you navigate the muddled landscape of copyright, both for materials you wish to use and materials you create yourself. In addition to the Cornell Copyright Information Center, these services include:
- Workshops or class sessions to help you understand copyright issues, author rights and interpret fair use guidelines. (scheduled on request)
- CUL Copyright Services designed to assist the Cornell community in seeking copyright permission for materials. We can help you investigate source information to identify copyright-holders and guide you in seeking permission or interpreting fair use guidelines. (email based)
- Assistance developing coursepacks (through Liason librarians and Cornell Store)
For more information about the copyright services, please contact Cornell University Library, Copyright Services at copyright@cornell.edu.
