University of Texas-Austin has purchased annual licenses from the Copyright Clearance Center.

By Bob Neubauer

“The university wanted to make sure that we’re following all the guidelines and making sure that the publishers are getting the restitution that they deserve,” explains Steve Meadows, Copy Center manager.

The in-plant has been securing copyright releases for many years for the course packets it produces. Richard Beto, director of Document Services, believes it was because of the diligent work of Copy Center Supervisor Irene Castillo-Alonzo, who is responsible for securing copyright permissions, that the library included the in-plant in discussions to purchase annual licenses. As a result, he says, the in-plant now plays a more integral role at the university.
