You can copy a work up to 15 pages in length from a hard copy anthology, such as an anthology of poetry or short stories. This right does not apply to an anthology in electronic form.

You can copy one article from each edition of a periodical, or more than one if they are on the same subject. For example if an edition of Science magazine has six articles on cloning, then you can copy all six.

You can copy up to 10% or a chapter, whichever is larger. If copies of the book are not commercially available, you can copy up to the whole book. If copyright has expired or you have permission from the copyright owner you can copy the whole book.

You must use the eReserve operated by the Library in order to put text-based works online, unless copyright has expired or you have the written permission from the copyright owner.
