Copyright clearance center

This program has been developed to help users obtain copies of the journal articles and other short works needed to supplement their subscriptions but which are not available to them under fair-use and related copyright provisions. It has also been designed to help promote vital journal-publishing continuity. While the initial system places emphasis on articles in TSM (technical-scientific-medical) journals, because of the strength of demands in this area and the orientation of those involved in planning this program, efforts are already underway to expand the program to other short documents.
