In Writing

Please place your request as early as possible, (i.e. when you order textbooks). We need time to research and perhaps refer you elsewhere since we do not always control rights to the material you want.

N.B If your source is a textbook, an anthology or a collection of various authors' works, you must review the copyright acknowledgement page(s) to locate the information pertaining to the original source for the material in the book which you wish to copy. Your permission request must give the title of the book, author, title of material, and copyright date as it appears in the acknowledgement, and should be directed to the party having given permission. If you are unsure about the information contained in the acknowledgement, call the publisher for clarification.

If the book is a paperback, please check the copyright page carefully to see if it contains information indicating that the paperback was published by arrangement with another publisher and/or that a previously published hardcover was published by another publisher. In most cases you should apply for permission to the original hardcover publisher. Again, if you are unsure, call the publisher.
