The Music Library will reproduce manuscripts, scores, and photographs from the collection, in compliance with the fair use clause of United States copyright law. When requesting a reproduction, the patron must fill out and sign a permission form which verifies their understanding of this policy. Reproductions are to be used for research purposes only, and are not to be sold or deposited in another repository. The library’s sale of a reproduction does not grant authorization for publication or performance. It is the patron’s responsibility to obtain permission to publish from the copyright owner.
As many of our materials are fragile, please note that reproductions will be supplied only when it does not endanger the condition of the item. Processing time generally runs 4-6 weeks. Items that require special handling may require further processing time.
Each copy order will include a $15 retrieval fee. This fee covers 1/2 hour of staff time assisting patrons at a distance in identifying materials to reproduce. Time spent beyond 1/2 hour will be billed to the patron as research assistance, at $25 per hour.
