Instructions for Filling in Copyright Request Forms for Course Pack
Material/Classroom Handouts |
|
|
|
If you are setting up an entirely new course pack or adding
new items to an already established course pack, you are
required to complete the copyright request forms. These forms
are available online at our website
http://www.cmich.edu/copyright/. Just click on "Copyright
Assistance" on the menu to the left and then click on "Copyright
Permission Request Forms." The forms can be submitted directly
to the CMU Bookstore by clicking on the "Submit" button located
at the bottom of each form. If you do not have access to a
computer, contact the CMU Bookstore by phone at (989) 774-1584
and the forms will be sent to you.
Complete one Requestor Information Form per class being taught.
Information needed on the Requestor Information Form is your
name, address, phone number, e-mail address, course number and
title, and the beginning and ending dates of the class. This
form also lets you detail your requirements for copying your
course pack (e.g., stapling, shrink-wrapping, etc.).
Note: If you are reusing material from a previously
established course pack through the CMU Bookstore, simply fill
out the Requester Information Form. No other forms are required.
Articles
For an article, fill out the Form to Request Copyright
Permission - Articles. Complete one of these forms for each
periodical item in your course pack. Information needed is the
- title of the journal
- title of the article
- complete author(s) name(s)
Include complete first and last names and middle initial, if
any.
- volume
- date
- page numbers
If page numbers are discontinuous, please state the page
numbers exactly. Often publishers charge by the page and if we
state pages as continuous when actually there are several ads
or other articles interspersed, we are charged for several
pages that are not being used.
Include the following information only if applicable
- title of the anthology and the year
Note that in books that are collections of readings, the
articles may have been copied with permission from other
sources. The book from which you are copying that material
usually includes the source information at length either in
the front or the back of the book or at the bottom of the
first page of each reading. That is the information that must
be supplied for this request.
- Complete web site name and address
Note that even if a journal’s articles are included as full
text online, this does not mean that multiple copies may be
made of the article without obtaining copyright permission.
Many sites require permission and some even charge copyright
fees for permission.
Book Excerpts
For a book excerpt, fill out the
Form to Request Copyright
Permission - Book Excerpts. Complete one of these forms for
each book excerpt in your course pack.
Include the
- title of the book or document
- author(s) name(s) (first and last names, including middle
initial if any)
- date
- ISBN (if available)
- publisher
- page numbers
For edited books of readings by different authors, provide the
- title of the book/anthology
- editor(s) name(s) (first and last names, including middle
initial if any)
- author(s) of the reading (first and last names, including the
middle initial, if any)
- title of the reading
- source of the reading, if published from a primary source or
used with permission
Please note that in books that are collections of readings,
such as cases, poems, stories, etc., the material may have
been copied with permission from other sources. The book from
which you are copying that material usually includes the
source information at length either in the front or the back
of the book or at the bottom of the first page of each
reading. Include that information as well.
Cartoons/Illustrations
For a comic strip/illustration, fill out the
Form to Request
Copyright Permission - Cartoons/Illustrations. Complete one of
these forms for each comic strip/illustration item in your
course pack.
Provide the
- title of the strip
- illustrator
Include complete first and last names and middle initial, if
any
- syndicate
The syndicate is usually included in tiny script along the
side of the strip
- date the strip was published
The date (month and day) is usually included somewhere in the
last clip of the strip; if you know the year or approximate
year, please provide that.
Please note you must supply the master of the cartoon strip
and that it must include the title located above the strip. The
syndicates require that the title of the strip be included in
the copies made as one of the conditions for permission to copy.
Please provide all the information requested to enable your
requests to be processed as efficiently as possible. Please
submit all your requests for each class or course pack by
e-mail. These forms are available online at our website
http://www.cmich.edu/copyright. Just click on "Copyright
Assistance" on the menu to the left then click on "Copyright
Permission Request Forms." The forms can be submitted directly

at the bottom of each form.
The CMU Bookstore is located in Bovee University Center.
