Local History Reproduction Policy

The Yorba Linda Public Library arranges for the reproduction of materials from
the Yorba Linda Public Library Local History Collection. Reproduction of items
in the collection is performed at the patron’s expense. Any further reproduction
is prohibited without the written permission of the Yorba Linda Public Library.

COPYRIGHT

The Yorba Linda Public Library does not hold the
copyright to all materials in the Local History Collection. It is the responsibility
of the user to obtain any necessary permission.

Copyright protects the rights of creators of original works, including photographers,
artists, architects, publishers, singers, writers and composers. Types of works
covered include (but are not limited to) drawings, paintings, photographs, maps,
blueprints, music and lyrics, literary writings of all kinds, choreographic
works, audiovisual works, and all types of sound recordings. For these works,
the copyright holder has the exclusive right to reproduce the work, prepare
derivative works, distribute and/or sell copies of the original work, and perform
or display the work publicly. Copyright law provides protection to unpublished
as well as published materials.

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, U.S. Code) governs the making
of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material. Under certain
conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish
photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted works. 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 may be liable for copyright infringement.
This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if,
in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of the copyright
law. The granting of permission to publish by the library does not absolve
users of materials from securing permission from copyright owners and payment
of such additional fees as the owners may require if the library does not own
copyright or if the material is not in the public domain. Applicants assume
all responsibility for questions of copyright and invasion of privacy that may
arise in copying and in the use made of the photographic copy.

CREDIT INFORMATION

Reproductions from the Local History Collection must be credited with the standard
credit line: Courtesy of the Yorba Linda Public Library. Materials reproduced
for research may not later be used for publications or other public uses without
written permission from the Yorba Linda Public Library. A completed copy of
any publication using reproduced materials must be given, without charge, to
the Library for its collection.

REPRODUCTION REQUESTS

In authorizing the reproduction of works within its
collection, the Yorba Linda Public Library does not surrender its own right
to publish or grant permission to others to do so. Reproduction of the copy
prints received is not allowed, including any facsimile (including scanned copies).
