The documents that make up the fund of the library of the Federal State Budgetary Institution of Economics ‘IEM’ are divided into two categories: documents whose copyright protection has not expired and documents that have passed into the public domain.
Documents of the first category can be used without obtaining permission of the copyright holder only in cases directly established by law without profit.
Documents of the second category can be used by any person for any purpose, and special permission for these actions is not required.
In accordance with the law, workers of the library have the right to establish restrictions on the copying, exhibiting and issuing of book monuments, rare and valuable publications and other documents that make up the public domain.
If you have a copy of the document, copying should be done only from the copy.
The decision to provide the original documents from fixed assets for all types of copying is taken by the library administration on the basis of existing regulatory documents.
Changes and additions to this Regulation are made out by the new Regulation on Services, approved by the Director of the Institute.
With a large amount of copying services (photocopying, scanning), reference and bibliographic work by decision of the library administration and in agreement with the director or deputy director of the Institute, such services can be considered paid and performed with the written consent of the reader to pay for this work.
All additional services can be provided to ‘other’ readers (who are not research assistants and students) of the Institute for a fee, by agreement with the library administration, as well as with the director or deputy director of the Institute. The cost of such services is calculated individually and based on the volume and complexity of the upcoming work.
