Course Packets and Library E-Reserves
If an item is included in a course packet, the Cornell
Univeristy Library will only be able also to place on
its electronic reserves those items that are available
in separately licensed electronic journals or for which
permission of the copyright owner has been secured. See
the e-reserve policy at http://www.copyright.cornell.edu/policy/coursereservepolicy.pdf .
Faculty should consider whether course packets or e-reserves will best suit
their student's needs.
Course Packets Guide
Copyright :
The vast majority of published materials is copyrighted.
The most notable exceptions are some government documents,
which are public domain and works published before 1923. If
your packet contains copyrighted materials, we must ask the
owner(s) of the copyright for permission to reproduce it for
your class.
Publishers are usually the copyright owners and have the following rules:
- Pieces from a BOOK IN PRINT are generally limited
to 10% of the books' pages. Some publishers
are more lenient but if there is a question about
one in particular, please call us.
- If the piece is from a JOURNAL or OUT OF PRINT BOOK,
you may include as much of the work as you wish.
*Note: Just because a book goes OUT OF PRINT does
not mean it is out of copyright or free to copy.
The publishers still require that we ask permission
before reproducing the work.
- If the piece is from a book that is OUT OF PRINT
INDEFINITELY, there are no general guidelines. Some
publishers will allow you to copy more than 10% while
others will not.
When a publisher will not grant permission to
copy their work, it is called a denial. In those instances,
we will inform you of the denial and discuss the options available.
Royalties:
Most publishers charge royalties to reproduce
their copyrighted materials. The average © cost is
approximately 16¢ per page, per copy , but can often
be much higher.
When a publisher charges a royalty over 25¢ per page,
per copy, we will contact you to give you the option of
pulling the piece from your packet.
Bibliography :
A well-prepared bibliography is integral to producing
a course packet. Without the correct and complete information,
we cannot write to a publisher to ask permission to copy. Publishers
require the following information in order to process our request:
For Books:
· Author/Editor · Title of Book · Edition # · Copyright
Year
· Publisher · Chapter Title and Author · Page
Numbers · ISBN
For Journals:
· Author/Editor · Title of Journal · Issue
# · Copyright Year
· Publisher · Article Title · Page Numbers
Without the above information our letter will be incomplete and a publisher
may not be able to reference our citation - and will deny permission to copy.
Sometimes, compiling such complete bibliographic information can be very difficult
and time-consuming. If you find you cannot supply us with complete bibliographic
information, we will try to help using our own resources if you supply us with
as much as you have. For each citation that we complete, the fee is $2.50.
If we cannot complete the citation, we will ask that you either pull the piece
or research the information yourself and put the packet on hold.
Graphics :
All of our course packets are scanned, stored
and printed electronically in order to maintain the highest
reproduction quality.
Tips for Better Quality Materials :
Even the latest technology cannot improve on
the quality of the originals. We can simply make the very best
copy of what we are given. Therefore, if you want your students
to have clear and legible packets, here are some hints for
compiling your master packet:
- Give us the original or best copy available. You
will get them back.
- When making the originals, make sure the copies
are not too close to the edge of the paper - words
may be cut out by the three-holed paper or lost in
the binding.
- Put the cover down on the copier - too much toner
will hurt your machine and produce poor copies.
- Double check your materials to make sure the pages
are in order and complete!
Paying for The Extras :
The fees incurred for additional desk copies, halftone scans
or bibliographic research can be paid for by supplying us with
your department account number.
You may also pay for these fees by spreading them into the cost of the student's
packets. We highly recommend that you carefully consider this decision. Especially
in cases with small class enrollments, folding in your fees may significantly
increase the cost to your students.
Desk Copies :
For every 30 students, we will supply one
complimentary desk copy. For classes of 60, two free copies,
for classes of 90, three and so on. If these do not fulfill
your needs, you may order additional copies. (Classes with
at least sales of 17 packets will receive one free desk
copy)
You will receive your desk copies soon after your packet is printed. If you
need your materials sooner than that, you may come pick up your originals if
we have already scanned them. Just call to check on the status.
Reprints :
Since we print all the course packets ourselves, we feel
a great responsibility to keep the number of leftovers
as low as possible. To do this, we usually print approximately
80% of enrollment. After the packets sell out, students
can order a reprint of the packet and pick it up within
2 business days - Usually packets are ready next day. (not
counting weekends).
If this proves to be a great inconvenience to your class
schedule, we will print 100% of enrollment if you agree
to pay for the leftover packets.
Your cooperation in keeping the numbers of leftovers down
is greatly appreciated. Last year we reduced our waste
by 75%! That's about four hundred reams of paper!
Returns :
Students may return their packets for a full refund as
long as the packets are unmarked and complete, and is within
the return policy guidelines. (one week after purchase)
Because course packets are customized materials, we do
not buy them back at the end of the semester as we do with
textbooks.
Deadlines :
The deadline established for each semester is the last day
you can bring in your packet and have it promised for the
first day of class. We will gladly accept packets after the
deadline and make every effort to produce it as fast as possible
but cannot guarantee it to be ready for the first day of
class.
If you do not need your packet for the first week of class,
just call us and we'll set a different deadline for you based
on your needs.
One helpful suggestion is to make a "Part 1" packet
that covers the first few weeks. This allows you plenty of
time to put the rest of the packet together at a later time,
when we can turn around packets much quicker. (within a week)
All packets brought in BY THE DEADLINE will qualify for
the Money Back Program!
