Magazine or Newspaper Article Photocopy Request Form

Use this form to request a magazine or newspaper article that TRL does not own.
If you do not need a specific article but need information about a subject, please use the Ask A Librarian Email Reference form.
Request only ONE article per form. 
To avoid delays, check whether the article you need is available through one of our online reference databases.  Several databases provide full-text of magazine and newspaper articles. 
TRL may be able to request a photocopy of an article from another library through Interlibrary Loan (ILL) for TRL patrons (library card is required).  Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

Warning Concerning Copyright Restrictions

   The copyright law of the United States (Title 17, United States Code) governs the making of photocopies or other reproductions of copyrighted material.
   Under certain conditions specified in the law, libraries and archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction.  One of these specified conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction is not to be "used for any other purpose other than private study, scholarship, or research".  If a user makes a request for, or later uses, a photocopy or reproduction for purposes in excess of "fair use", that user may be liable for copyright infringement.
   This institution reserves the right to refuse to accept a copying order if, in its judgment, fulfillment of the order would involve violation of copyright law.
