Located in the Alderman Library Copy Center our Copyright Clearance Specialist assists the University community in complying with copyright laws. Most of the time, this is in conjunction with Course Packs sold through the University of Virginia bookstore or via the Toolkit website. We will be able to assist you with the University's interpretation of copyright law, looking into guidelines regarding "fair use" and ultimately obtaining copyright clearance for you.

Because of processing time, planning ahead is vital. We recommend that copyright clearance requests be submitted by the target dates listed below. Based on average response times your packet should be ready by the first day of class.
