Copyright Statement
The copyright law of the United States (title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.
The materials in this directory were provided by Cornell University Library under conditions specified in the law allowing libraries and archives (17 U.S. Code § 108. Limitations on exclusive rights: Reproduction by libraries and archives) to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction of a copyrighted work. None of these photocopies or reproductions may be “used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research.” The written permission of any copyright and other rights holders is required for distribution, reproduction, or other use that extends beyond what is authorized by fair use and other statutory exemptions. Responsibility for making an independent legal assessment of an item and securing any necessary permissions ultimately rests with persons desiring to use the item.
