Though Brown's in-plant does not have to handle the copyright permission process, other schools are immersed in it. The University of Washington employs three people in its copyright permissions center. Coordinator Jen Wildrick says they use both the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) and their own database of publishers when seeking permission. She reports that lately an increasing number of publishers have contracted with CCC and stopped dealing directly with the in-plant.
