To the extent that a member of the ACE community does not think their use of copyrighted material would fall under a fair use exemption, the ACE community member is responsible for obtaining or arranging to obtain copyright permission. Please submit requests for permissions at least six weeks before the material is needed to the Director of the ACE Library as the process can be slow, especially when dealing directly with a publisher. If permission is denied, or cannot be obtained in time, alternate material must be found.
