Permissions

Gretchen,

Although I fear I state the obvious and the "already-tried", I'll suggest that you or the professor contact us at the Copyright Clearance Center. This is just exactly what we were set up to help with. Either our Transactional Reporting Service or our Academic Permissions Service should do the trick.

If you haven't already, call a customer service rep at the number below.

Thanks,

Allen W. Dean
