The Copyright Law provides for some limitations on the copyright owner’s exclusive rights. The rights of the copyright owner are balanced against the public’s right to use the works for certain purposes and under certain circumstances.
Such purposes include criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, research or personal use.
The conditions are outlined in Title 17 USC, Section 107, commonly known as the “Fair Use” doctrine.
Other conditions and exemptions specifically related to libraries and archives are outlined under Title 17 USC, Section 108.
