Policies and Ordering Instructions
To assist scholars in their research, the
Library is able to offer limited photoduplication services:
digital images, slides, photographic prints,
microfilm, and copyflo. Readers must identify and select all
material for duplication. Please be aware that the Library
can fill large or complex orders only as the demands of serving
our patrons permit, and that some materials may be too fragile
to be subjected to any duplication process. A $25.00 fee will
be added to any request requiring special handling. Any order
that requires the staff to spend more than 30 minutes on bibliographic
research or 60 minutes preparing the material for duplication
will be subject to preparation fees of $25 per hour. For service
to commercial users a separate fee may be applied.
If no master negative or digital file exists,
the price for reproductions will include the cost of making
one. The master becomes the property of the Library. All reproductions
(of whatever nature) are provided for readers' individual scholarly
use.
Permission to Publish. Provision of
a photoduplicate is not an authorization to publish. The Library
cannot grant or deny permission to publish texts or images
unless Yale University is identified as the copyright holder.
If the text or image in question is under copyright, permission
to publish should be sought from the owners of the rights,
typically the creator or the heirs to his or her estate. The
Lewis Walpole Library should, however, be cited as the source
with the following credit line: "Courtesy of the Lewis Walpole
Library, Yale University."
Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions
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 reproductions. 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."
The Library reserves the right to refuse to
accept an order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order
would involve violation of copyright law.
Advance payment by check, Visa, or MasterCard
is required for all orders. Please make checks payable to the
Lewis Walpole Library. Overseas customers paying by check must
send payment in U.S. dollars drawn on a United States bank.
