Though ILL is intended to assist in the academic and professional development of our patrons, respect must be given to federal copyright law and national ILL policies. As such, Feinberg Library interlibrary loan services adheres to the American Library Association's guidelines for interlibrary loan policies as well as provisions within federal copyright law. These policies and procedures are inherent and isolated to ILL and should not have any bearing on other library copyright policies (such as reserves). These policies apply to all reproductions and facsimiles made for the express purpose of interlibrary loan.

Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or another reproduction. One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be “used for any purposes other than private study, scholarship or research”. If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposed in excess of “fair use”, that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying request if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the request would involve violation of copyright law.
We welcome student, faculty, and staff use of our beautiful Feinberg Library facility for photo and videography projects. Our goal is to support the academic mission of the college. At the same time, we are committed to maintaining the facility for its primary purpose, which is to provide a research and study sanctuary, computing facilities, and work spaces for faculty, staff, and students.
Feinberg Library requires that all photography and videography* sessions in the facility 1) be approved by a Feinberg Library administrator or a library supervisor; and 2) meet the following guidelines:

All Feinberg Library spaces are Learning Zones, expected to be conducive to studying, researching, and reading.
These guidelines apply to all three levels of Feinberg Library.
Our building signage is intended to convey important information to our visitors, helping them to find the people and services they seek. Our signage is designed to be professional, clear, consistent, well-placed, and in accord with SUNY Plattsburgh’s official standards for graphic design.
We understand that visitors make judgments about a facility and an organization based on signage. Therefore, we strive to create a signage environment that follows a high quality standard.
Messages in our signs are designed to avoid being confusing or frustrating to read. We are careful to consolidate our signs in locations that make sense to visitors, and not place them in a myriad of locations around the building.
Feinberg’s permanent signage uses a high-contrast color scheme of dark blue on light silver. The blue type font harmonizes with the building’s main accent color; this font (Univers) is also an approved choice in the college’s design palette.
Temporary print signage is placed in approved holders or in our bulletin board locations. No handwritten signs are allowed, except in emergency situations. With the exception of our large-display and special-event artwork, posters are no larger than 11x17. Left or right alignment is preferred for messages with longer text, so as to assist the reader by creating a strong vertical edge.
Print images are high resolution (300 dpi). Electronic images are low resolution (72 dpi). Approved electronic signage may be placed in the slide rotation on building computer screens.
