Copyright and Copying

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research." If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use," the user is liable for any copyright infringement.

Researchers are responsible for obtaining all permissions regarding copyright and intellectual property rights related to any material they might copy or might prepare for publication, exhibit or other dissemination, regardless of format.

Angie Debo bequeathed all of her intellectual property rights to Oklahoma State University. Written permission from Oklahoma State University is required for publication or other reproduction or adaptation of her material.

For all material not created by Debo, the rights are held by the creators of the material, regardless of format. In some cases, especially those regarding photographs, the owner of the original may have some rights as well.

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law. The library will arrange to have copies made of photographs which Debo acquired from other known sources upon receipt of an original written permission that contains an authorized signature from the site from which Debo obtained a photograph.
