Electronic reserves and copyright permission

["Valerie A. Lang" <langval@xxxxxxxx>]

Question:
 
How many of your institutions require the faculty member to obtain
copyright permission from the owner, prior to putting a protected item
on electronic reserve? How many offer the Library services (e.g.,
copyright officer, electronic reserve librarian, etc.) for obtaining
permission? 
 
Our issue: cost of obtaining permission.  What entity or individual
absorbs that cost at your college or university?

Many thanks.
