Lewis Library copyright review services work with HSC faculty, staff, and students to address copyright information needs across campus and through academic publishing. Copyright review is included as part of normal library processes during the creation of course reserves through LIST IT @ HSC. Other copyright review needs are met through one-on-one consultation, and individual or group education sessions.
