The Atherton Mail Center is open from 8:00 to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, during the academic year. Campus mail, personal stamped U.S. mail, and official Pitzer College mail needing postage may be deposited in the mail slot in Scott Hall or in several designated places throughout the academic complex. Mail in the Atherton Mail Center is picked up Monday through Friday at approximately 2:30 p.m.

Official Pitzer College mail for business and course-related correspondence is metered daily at 1.m. and delivered to the Claremont Post Office at 4:30, Monday through Friday. All mail to be metered must include the name of the sender or department in the upper left-hand corner for billing purposes. All Pitzer mail is sent First Class unless the contents are clearly designated as books, published manuscripts, or other printed matter. All printed material destined for overseas locations must be so designated in order to qualify for special Air Mail rates. Personal mail, including Express mail should be stamped before deposit; only letters and parcels in support of College business will be posted by the mail room at College expense. Express mail service is available through the mail room for next-day delivery of printed materials. Faculty are urged to minimize the use of this costly service by employing it only when the rapid transmission of material is necessary.

Faculty members on leave (away from Claremont) should contact their regular correspondents and arrange to have their mail sent to their leave address.

C. DUPLICATING SERVICES

Duplicating Services is located in Bernard 111 (ext. 18461). It is open from 8 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. during the academic year; summer hours will be posted. There are facilities and personnel for photocopying. Photocopying machines are also located on the second floors of Bernard and Fletcher Halls and in Broad Center for use by faculty.

Research/Class-related/Professional Duplicating:  At the beginning of each semester, full-time faculty members will begin with 2000 copies for duplicating of single copies of class-related and professional and research materials. Please do not use this allocation for making multiple copies for classroom distribution, as the photocopy machines in Bernard, Fletcher, and Broad Center are not intended to handle large jobs. Multiple copies should be taken to the Duplicating Room in Bernard 111 or given to the faculty assistant who will see that copies are made for distribution.(The Research and Awards Committee will consider requests for larger allotments for research purposes.) The Dean of Faculty asks that each faculty member limit class hand-outs to approximately 50 pages per student. If you anticipate that photocopied material will be a heavy component in your courses, a modest sum should be collected from each student at the beginning of the semester. An alternative to photocopied material would be to post readings on Web CD or place copies on reserve at Honnold or the Marquis Reading Room in Mead Hall.

If you wish materials to be photocopied from books, please allow lead time of at least one week to complete. If materials from books are to be distributed to students, refer to Copyright Guidelines below. Duplicating personnel, faculty assistants, and student assistants will be asked to comply with these guidelines.

The duplicating machines on the second floor of Bernard and Fletcher and Broad Center will be programmed for each faculty member with individual numbers which must be used when duplicating materials. Faculty will use the machine closest to their office-offices located in Broad Center use the machine in Broad Center, Broad Hall, Bernard and the north end of Scott Hall will use the copier in Bernard; offices in Fletcher, Avery and the south end of Scott Hall will use the copier in Fletcher.

Duplicating Copyrighted Materials:  In order to assure compliance with federal copyright laws, the College has instituted a plan to secure the permission of the holders of copyrights, before materials are copied and distributed to students. For course packets requiring copyright permission, contact Tom Bauer, Director of Huntley Bookstore, x73208.

The following guidelines for duplication of copyrighted materials are reprinted from Questions and Answers on Copyright for the Campus Community, National Association of College Stores, Inc. and the Association of American Publishers.

Agreement On Guidelines For Classroom Copying in Not-For-Profit Educational Institutions With Respect to Books and Periodicals.

MULTIPLE COPIES FOR CLASSROOM USE:

Multiple copies (not to exceed in any event more than one copy per pupil in a course) may be made by or for the teacher giving the course for classroom use or discussion, provided that:

i. The copying meets the tests of brevity and spontaneity as defined below; and,
ii. Meets the cumulative effect test as defined below; and
iii. Each copy includes a notice of copyright.

DEFINITIONS:
Brevity:

i. Poetry: (a) A complete poem if less than 250 words and if printed on not more than two pages or (b) from a longer poem, an excerpt of not more than 250 words.

ii. Prose: (a) Either a complete article, story or essay of less than 2,500 words, or (b) an excerpt from any prose work of not more than 1,000 words or 10% of the work, whichever is less, but in any event a minimum of 500 words. (Each of the numerical limits stated in “i” and “ii” above may be expanded to permit the completion of an unfinished line of a poem or of an unfinished prose paragraph.)

iii. Illustration: One chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon or special picture per book or per periodical issue.

iv. “Special” works: Certain works in poetry, prose or in “poetic prose” which often combine language with illustrations and which are intended sometimes for children and at other times for a more general audience fall short of 2,500 words in their entirety. Paragraph “i” above notwithstanding such “special works” may not be reproduced in their entirety; however, an excerpt comprising not more than two of the published pages of such special work and containing not more than 10% of the words found in the text thereof may be reproduced.

Spontaneity:

i. The copying is at the instance and inspiration of the individual teacher; and
ii. The inspiration and decision to use the work and the moment of its use for maximum teaching effectiveness are so close in time that it would be unreasonable to expect a timely reply to a request for permission.

Cumulative Effect:

i. The copying of the material is for only one course in the school in which the copies are made.

ii. Not more than one short poem, article, story, essay or two excerpts may be copied from the same author, nor more than three from the same collective work or periodical volume during one class term.

iii. There shall not be more than nine instances of such multiple copying for one course during one class term

(The limitations stated in “ii” and “iii” above shall not apply to current news periodicals and newspapers and current news sections of other periodicals.)

PROHIBITIONS:

Notwithstanding any of the above, the following shall be prohibited:

A. Copying shall not be used to create or replace or substitute for anthologies, compilations, or collective works. Such replacement or substitution may occur whether copies of various works or excerpts therefrom are accumulated or are reproduced and used separately.

B. There shall be no copying of or from works intended to be “consumable” in the course of study or teaching. These include workbooks, exercises, standardized tests and test booklets and answer sheets and like consumable material.

C. Copying shall not:

i. substitute for the purchase of books, publisher’s reprints or periodicals;
ii. be directed by higher authority;
iii. be repeated with respect to the same item by the same teacher from term to term. D. No charge should be made to the student beyond the actual charge of the photocopying.

Faculty are urged to make their requests sufficiently in advance of the time needed for class use so that copying can be accomplished in a timely fashion. Two (or four) copies of articles will be duplicated for distribution to Mead and/or Honnold libraries. Please specify to which library distribution is required. Copies placed at Honnold will be put on two-hour closed reserve.

Recycling:  The College encourages efforts to conserve paper and to recycle that which is used. Faculty and staff are encouraged to copy on both sides of the paper where possible and to avoid extensive copying where alternative access to material exists. Recycle wastebaskets are in most offices and larger recycling containers are available across the campus.

D. INSTRUCTIONAL SUPPLIES AND EQUIPMENT

Requests for special instructional needs and equipment (or any other class-related expense) should be directed to the Dean of Faculty.
