The resources provided by the The University of Southern Mississippi
Libraries as a part of the Civil Rights in Mississippi Digital
Archive are made available for the specific purposes of research,
teaching, and personal study. Under Fair Use, users may make a
single reproduction (print or download) for these purposes, on
the condition that they adequately attribute credit to The University
of Southern Mississippi Libraries in any resulting works (see
guidelines for citation).
Under U.S.
Copyright Law (Title 17, U.S.C.) unpublished works created prior
to 1978 are automatically given Federal copyright protection until
December 31, 2002. Thus, use of resources from the Civil Rights
in Mississippi Digital Archive for publication, broadcast, mirroring,
or other applications not considered Fair Use requires permission
of the copyright holder.
It is the
sole responsibility of the user to identify and secure permission
from the copyright holder to make reproductions of copyrighted
resources. Recipients of resources agree to indemnify and hold
harmless The University of Southern Mississippi, its officers,
employees, and agents from and against all suits, claims, actions,
and expenses arising out of the use of reproductions provided
by the USM Libraries.
The University
of Southern Mississippi's Special Collections Digital Lab can
provide digital images of specific items in the Civil Rights in
Mississippi Digital Archive that are of much higher quality than
those provided via the Internet for use in publication or broadcast.
Advance permission of the copyright holders and resolution of
privacy concerns are conditional to receiving such images. The
University of Southern Mississippi reserves the right to refuse
to provide a reproduction for a user if, in its judgment, fulfillment
of the request would involve violation of copyright law.
Security
Materials provided as view-only files are not to be reproduced
without express permission from the copyright holder. Disabling
or circumventing security measures put in place by the University
of Southern Mississippi may violate federal or other statutes
and may subject the violator to criminal and civil penalties.
In the event of unauthorized intrusion, all relevant information
regarding possible violation of law may be provided to law enforcement
officials.
