In adherence to US Copyright Law under the fair use provision (17 U.S.C. § 107), the so called library exemption (17 U.S.C. § 108), and the TEACH Act (17 U.S.C. § 110) of Federal copyright law and the Interlibrary Loan Code for the United States will govern all ILL transactions.
Rollins College is committed to complying with all applicable United States (U.S.) copyright law. This includes the full exercise of the rights accorded to users of copyrighted works under the fair use provision (17 U.S.C. § 107), the so called library exemption (17 U.S.C. § 108), and the TEACH Act (17 U.S.C. § 110) of Federal copyright law. To that end, the College shall inform and educate its faculty, staff, and students about copyright law, their fair use rights and the application of the four factors for determining those rights as set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 107, and their rights and responsibilities according to §s 108 and 110.
The fair use clause provides generous, but not unlimited, provisions for the use of copyrighted works in classroom settings. Students, faculty, and staff members are expected to comply with copyright laws. Distribution of works protected by copyright without permission of the copyright owner may be a violation of Federal or state law. It is the responsibility of those reproducing copyrighted works, or asking other employees of Rollins College, or students to reproduce copyrighted works, to make sure the reproduction is consistent with U.S. Copyright Law.
Rollins College does not permit the unlawful reproduction or distribution of commercially copyrighted music, movies, and software. The College is committed to taking reasonable steps to avoid misuse of its computer network, including the unlawful reproduction or distribution of copyrighted works via that network. If violations are discovered or suspected, College Information Technology personnel may be required (17 U.S.C. §512) to report infringement to the rights holder. Other actions that will be taken include, but are not limited to: warning the user, removing the material, or terminating access to the material.
A full list of policies and procedures can be found on the library's Copyright page.
The Olin Library reserves the right to refrain from any activity related to ILL that may constitute a violation of the provisions of U.S. Copyright Law or any laws regarding the confidentiality of records.
In order to pickup your ILL items you must show your ID and sign a check out slip in order for your items to be released to you.
If someone else besides the requestor is picking up the ILL items you must email circ@rollins.edu and olinill@rollins.edu prior to pickup and provide the name of the pickup person. The designated pickup person must also show ID and sign a check out slip.
Failure to follow these steps will result in your ILL items not being released to you.
No institution can hold all knowledge and so, in order to facilitate the information requests of patrons libraries participate in the Interlibrary Loan system. The efficiency of which depends on all of us! Please keep the below in mind when you receive your materials.
Be Kind: Treat your materials with the utmost care. Accidents can happen and if they do please notify the ILL department immediately. We will work with the lending institution to mitigate the issue. Even if an item is damaged it still needs to be returned. You wouldn't want to loan someone an item only for them to return it damaged without even saying a word about it!
Be Mindful: Return your items by the due date. Library materials do not automatically renew and are not always eligible for renewal. Please either request a renewal through your ILL account or notify the ILL Department and we will do our best to accommodate. And remember it's always better to return an item early than keep it after the due date. Doing this helps keep Rollins in good standing with other institutions.
Be Considerate: Remember to always leave the ILL label on your materials and return any accompanying items that came with your ILL item such as bookmarks (ex: UCF's new item bookmark), CDs, maps, etc. Remove any sticky notes or other personal notes you used to annotate prior to returning your ILL items. Doing so helps us quickly check in items and return them to their institutions in their original condition.
Let's work together to continue lending from libraries across the world!
