archives are authorized to furnish a photocopy or other reproduction.
One of these specific conditions is that the photocopy or reproduction
is not to be "used for any purpose other than private study, scholar-

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
