her scholarly research or use in teaching or preparation
to teach a class.

1.2 An article from a periodical or newspaper;
1.3 A short story, short essay or short poem, whether or
not from a collective work;
1.4 A chart, graph, diagram, cartoon or picture from a

Multiple copies (not to exceed in any event more than one
copy per pupil in a course) may be made by or for the
teacher giving the course for classroom use or discussion
provided that:

2.2 Meets the cumulative effect test as defined below;

3.0 Definitions:

3.1 Brevity:

3.1.1 Poetry: (a) A complete poem if less than 250

of not more than 250 words.

3.1.2 Prose: (a) Either a complete article, story

CODE: IIAE-E1


or essay of less than 2500 words, or (b) an
excerpt from any prose work of not more than
1000 words or 10 of the work, whichever is
less, but in any event a minimum of 500 words.

3.1.3 (Each of the numerical limits stated in 3.1.1
and 3.1.2 above may be expanded to permit the
completion of an unfinished line of a poem or
of an unfinished prose paragraph.)

3.1.4 Illustration: One chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon or picture per book or per
periodical issue.

3.1.5 "Special" works: Certain works in poetry,
prose, or in "poetic prose" which often
combine language with illustrations and
which are intended sometimes for children
and at other times for a more general
audience fall short of 2500 words in their
entirety. Paragraph 3.1.2 above notwith-
standing such "special works" may not be
reproduced in their entirety; however, an
excerpt comprising not more than two of the
published pages of such special work and
containing not more than 10 of the words
found in the text thereof, may be reproduced.

3.2 Spontaneity:

3.1.1 The copying is at the instance and inspiration of the individual teacher, and

3.1.2 The inspiration and decision to use the work
and the moment of its use for maximum teaching effectiveness are so close in time
that it would be unreasonable to expect a
timely reply to a request for permission.

3.3 Cumulative Effect:

3.3.1 The copying of the material is for only one
course in the school in which the copies are
made.

3.3.2 Not more than one short poem, article, story,
essay, or two excerpts may be copied from the
same author, nor more than three from the same collective work or periodical volume during one class term.

3.3.3 There shall not e more than nine instances
of such multiply copying for one course during one class term.

above shall not apply to current news
periodicals and newspapers and current news
sections of other periodicals.)

Notwithstanding any of the above, the ollowing shall be
prohibited:

4.1 Copying shall not be used to create or to replace or
substitute for anthologies, compilations or
collective works. Such replacement or substitution
may occur whether copies of various works or excerpts therefrom are accumulated or reproduced and
used separately.

4.2 There shall be no copying of or from works intended
to be "consumable" in the course of study or of teaching. These include workbooks, exercises,
standardized tests and test booklets and answer sheets and like consumable material.

4.3 Copying shall not:

4.3.1 substitute for the purchase of books,
publisher's reprints or periodicals;

4.3.2 be directed by higher authority;

4.3.3 be repeated with respect to the same item
by the same teacher from term to term.

4.4 No charge shall be made to the student beyond the
actual cost of the photocopying.
