When you publish a journal article, you sign a copyright agreement. Do you know what you’re agreeing to when you sign it? How can you find out a journal’s policy? How can you negotiate your contract to make the most of your rights as a scholar, researcher, and author? Come learn how to preserve your rights to reproduce, distribute, and display the work you create.

Scan and Deliver: Did you know about Scan and Deliver, the pilot service in which we scan and send you print materials held in the GC library? Make these “document delivery” requests the same way you would make an interlibrary loan request, through your GC ILL account. We can copy articles and book chapters, but not more than one chapter of any one book because of potential copyright issues. We also cannot copy items that are on reserve. To learn more, see https://gclibrary.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2014/09/05/scan-deliver-gc-library-material/.
