Copyright Policy
The law library, like the university at large, seeks to balance the right of fair use with the legal ownership rights of copyright holders in accordance with Gonzaga's philosophy and mission as a humanistic, Catholic, and Jesuit University. To this end, Gonzaga has issued a policy on copyright with the objective of good faith compliance with the directives and intent of the copyright law of the United States.

For a general interpretation and information regarding copyright and reserve materials in a library setting, there is guidance available on campus from the Foley Center Library, click here.
Copies requested or made for the purpose of interlibrary loan are also subject to the restrictions of copyright laws. The law library reserves the right not to fill a copying order that, in the judgment of the ILL staff, would be in violation of copyright law. The Foley Center Library has a similar restriction on copy requests made through interlibrary loan. For more information click here.
