USE OF COLLECTIONS |
| General |
Due to the unique
and fragile nature of many of our materials, the collections may be used
only in the Felix E. Snider Reading Room of Kent Library. First-time
visitors will be asked to fill out an application to use the collection,
and must present a valid photographic ID. They will be issued a
Patron Identification Card, which must be presented upon all subsequent
visits to gain access to Special Collections. All belongings must be
placed in a locker. Use of cell phones is prohibited in the
reading room. Laptop computers are permitted in the
Reading Room with the approval of a staff member. Prepared notes are
permitted only with the approval of staff. Pencils, paper and gloves
are available at the Reading Room desk. Researchers are
asked to use only pencils for note-taking. Pens are prohibited. |
| Reproduction |
Photocopying is permitted, as long as it is done in accordance with donor
agreements and copyright regulations. Some materials may not be copied
due to their fragile nature. The staff reserves the right to limit the
number of items copied, or to decline to make reproductions of any
particular item, especially when such reproduction cannot be done without
injury to the material. |
| Permission to
Publish |
Researchers
should be aware that the copyright law of the United States (Title 17, USC)
provides protection for unpublished materials as well as for published
works. Permission to publish from or quote from previously unpublished
manuscripts or from published items under copyright must first be obtained
from the copyright holder. It is the researcher's responsibility to secure
that permission. For original manuscript materials, the permission of
Special Collections, as owner of the originals, is also required. |
