Copyright
Southern Oregon Digital Archives
Conditions of Use
The Southern Oregon Digital Archives (SODA) provides a corpus of
materials for public use, research, and viewing as a contribution
to education and scholarship. Although these materials are publicly
accessible, they are not all in the public domain. The SODA project
has sought permission from authors of materials not in the public
domain to scan and mount their materials for research and educational
purposes only. Some materials in the collection may be protected
by the U.S. Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.) and/or by the copyright
or neighboring-rights laws of other nations. Transmission or reproduction
of protected items beyond that allowed by fair use requires the written
permission of the copyright owners.
The nature of collection, which includes many materials in the
public domain means that copyright or other information about restrictions
may be difficult to determine. Whenever possible, the SODA Project
provides information about copyright owners and permissions in the
metadata as a service to aid patrons in determining the appropriate
use of an item, but that determination ultimately rests with the
patron.
The Southern Oregon Digital Archives generally does not own rights
to materials in this collection. Therefore, it does not charge permission
fees for use of such material and cannot give permission to publish
or otherwise distribute material in its collections. It is the patron's
obligation to determine and satisfy copyright or other use restrictions
when publishing or otherwise distributing materials found in the
Southern Oregon Digital Archives.
We wish to acknowledge the agencies, organizations, tribes, and
individuals who have contributed texts to these collections. Credits
are provided in the metadata of each document. The Southern Oregon
Digital Archives project is eager to hear from any copyright owners
who are not properly identified so that appropriate information may
be provided in the future.
By their use of these materials, users agree
to the following conditions of use:
- The materials available on this Web site are
for research use only. These materials may not
be used for any commercial purpose without permission
of the Southern Oregon Digital Archives, and in
the case of materials not in the public domain,
permission from the original author and publisher
is also required.
- Publication in any form, including electronic, requires written
permission from the author and publisher of any materials that are
not in the public domain.
- For purposes of private study, scholarship, and research, users
may reproduce (print out, photocopy or download) materials from this
Web site without prior permission. If you are citing materials, please
give proper attribution of the source.
- Reproductions of materials on this Web site may not be made for
or donated to other repositories, nor may they be further reproduced
without written permission from the Southern Oregon University Library,
and in the case of materials not in the public domain, also from
the publishers and authors of the materials.
- Users are not permitted to download SODA documents in order to
mount them on their own servers for public use or for use by a set
of subscribers. The SODA project, with the help of an IMLS grant,
has invested a great deal of time, money, and effort into scanning,
quality control, and metadata creation for these electronic editions.
Individuals and institutions can, of course, make a link to SODA
materials subject to our conditions of use.
United States Copyright Law
The copyright law of the United States
(Title 17, United States Code) governs the making
of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted
material.
Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries
and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction.
One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction
is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship,
or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a
photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," that
user may be liable for copyright infringement. This institution reserves
the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment,
fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.

and Multimedia Authors” site at the University of Iowa: http://bailiwick.lib.uiowa.edu/webbuilder/copyright.html
