Example of Library online Electronic Copyright Notice
http://webdoc.library.upenn.edu/ill/copyright.html

Example of Copyright Statement that should/may appear on Interlibrary loan requests:

      NOTICE: WARNING CONCERNING COPYRIGHT RESTRICTIONS
      The Copyright law of the U.S. (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted materials. 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", that user may be liable for copyright infringement.

      This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgement, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law. (U.S. Register of Copyrights)
