AGREEMENT ON GUIDELINES FOR CLASSROOM COPYING IN
NOT-FOR-PROFIT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS
WITH RESPECT TO BOOKS AND PERIODICALS

The purpose of the following guidelines is to state the minimum and not the maximum standards of educational fair use under Section 107 of H.B. 2223. The parties agree that the conditions determining the extent of permissible copying for educational purposes may change in the future; that certain types of copying permitted under these guidelines may not be permissible in the future; and conversely that in the future other types of copying not permitted under these guidelines may be permissible under revised guidelines.

Moreover, the following statement of guidelines is not intended to limit the types of copying permitted under the standards of fair use under judicial decision; those types are stated in Section 107 of the Copyright Revision Bill. There may be instances in which copying that does not fall within the guidelines stated below may nevertheless be permitted under the criteria of fair use.

GUIDELINES

Single Copying for Teachers
A single copy may be made of any of the following by or for a teacher at his/her individual request for scholarly research or use in teaching or in preparation to teach a class:
1. a chapter from a book;
2. an article from a periodical or newspaper;
3. a short story, short essay, or short poem, whether or not from a collective work;
4. a chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture from a book, periodical, or newspaper.
Multiple copies for Classroom Use
Multiple copies (not to exceed in any event 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:
1. the copying meets the tests of brevity and spontaneity as defined below; and
2. meets the cumulative-effect test as defined below; and
3. each copy includes a notice of copyright.
DEFINITIONS
Brevity
- Poetry: a) a complete poem if less than 250 words and if printed on not more than two pages or, b) from a longer poem, an excerpt of not more than 250 words.
- Prose: a) either a complete article, story 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.
  [Each of the numerical limits stated in i. and ii. above man be expanded to permit the completion of an unfinished line of a poem or of an unfinished prose paragraph.]
- Illustrations: one chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon, or picture per book or per periodical issue.
- "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 ii. above notwithstanding, 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 percent of the words found in the text thereof, may be reproduced.
Spontaneity
- The copying is at the instance and inspiration of the individual teacher; and
- 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.
Cumulative Effect
- The copying of material is for only one course in the school in which the copies are made.
- Not more than one short poem, article, story, essay, or two excerpts may be copies from the same author; not more than three from the same collective work or periodical volume during one class term.
- There shall be not more than nine (9) instances of such multiple copying for one course during one class term.
  [The limitations stated in ii. and iii. above shall not apply to current news periodicals and newspapers and current sections of other periodicals.]
Prohibitions as to I. and II. Above
Notwithstanding any of the above, the following shall be prohibited:
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.
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 materials.
3. Copying shall not:
  1. substitute for the purchase of books, publishers' reprints, or periodicals;
  2. be directed by higher authority;
  3. be repeated with respect to the same item by the same teacher from term to term.
4. No charge shall be made to the student beyond the actual cost of photocopying.

GUIDELINES FOR EDUCATIONAL USES OF MUSIC

Permissible Uses
1. Emergency copying to replace purchased copies that for any reason are not available for an imminent performance, provided that purchased replacement copies shall be substituted in due course.
2. For academic purposes other than performance, single or multiple copies of excerpts of works may be made, provided that the excerpts do not comprise a part of the whole that would constitute a performance unit such as a section, movement, or aria, but in no case more than 10 percent of the whole work. The number of copies shall not exceed one copy per pupil.
3. Printed copies that have been purchased may be edited or simplified provided that the fundamental character of the work is not distorted or the lyrics, if any, altered, or lyrics added if none exist.
4. A single copy of recordings of performances by students may be made for evaluation or rehearsal purposes and may be retained by the educational institution or individual teacher.
5. A single copy of a sound recording (such as a tape, disc, or cassette) of copyrighted music may be made from sound recordings owned by an educational institution or an individual teacher for the purpose of constructing aural exercises or examinations and may be retained by the educational institution or individual teacher. (This pertains only to the copyright of the music itself and not to any copyright that may exist in the recording.)
Prohibitions
1. Copying to create or replace or substitute for anthologies, compilations, or collective works.
2. Copying of or from works intended to be "consumable" in the course of study or of teaching such as workbooks, exercises, standardized tests and answer sheets and like materials.
3. Copying for the purpose of performance, except as in A.1., above.
4. Copying for the purpose of substituting for the purchase of music, except as in A.1. and A.2., above
5. Copying without inclusion of the copyright notice that appears on the printed copy.
