Our library has been displaying the "standard" copyright notice beside our
public copy machines.

 

NOTICE 

Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions 

The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code)
governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted
material. 

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are
authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction. One of these
specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be
"used for any purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research."
If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction
for purposes in excess of "fair use," that user may be liable for copyright
infringement. 

This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if,
in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of
copyright law

 

Does anyone know of a shorter version that can be displayed legally?

Thanking you in advance.

 

Jacqueline Ryan
