It is MIT's policy that all material contained in course readers, must have prior permission from copyright owners. CopyTech has a Copyright Service that is integrated into the production process.

How to put together a course reader:

• Determine which material will be used and the assembly order
• Provide a good master copy
• Provide a complete Copyright Permissions Request Form (available in the CopyTech Centers or download this PDF file) with bibliographic information. Our copyright tutorial can help you
• Bring everything down to our 11-004 or E52-045 Copy Center location
• You must indicate the estimated enrollment number and start of class date
• When the copyright permissions are completed, we will begin to scan and print the document for the start of class
• Students will purchase readers over the counter at the start of semester

We suggest that you be realistic but conservative in your estimated enrollment numbers so that we do not waste paper and money producing overruns. If we run short of readers, we have a 24-hour turn around time for additional copies.
