At Reed we've tried to design a system that encourages the individual
to accept responsibility for complying with the copyright law without
making our library, media services, or print shop become the copyright
police. Since compliance is dependent on the individuals' willingness
to participate in the process, the process we have in place provides
faculty, staff, students with a one-stop center for processing permission
requests. If the system is too restrictive or the process complicated
and time consuming, the individual is likely to resort to tactics to hide
the use of copyrighted material (but still leave the College liable). We
stress education of our community to the vagaries of the copyright law
through periodic seminars with faculty, articles in the campus newsletter,
and discussions with individuals. Then this office takes over the labor
of permission seeking, alleviating the burden from those who would not
place it in as a high priority.
