Notification of Use

UO Libraries Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) asks that users seeking to publish, display, or distribute any item from the SCUA holdings notify SCUA of their intended use by completing this form. This enables SCUA to collect data necessary for enhancing user access.

Permission fees and a licensing agreement may apply if the UO Libraries owns copyright to the items requested for use. If so, you will receive an invoice from the UO Libraries Billing Department, and SCUA will prepare a licensing agreement. We will not sign externally created licensing agreements.

Submissions are reviewed on a weekly basis.

Certain materials may be protected by copyright, trademark, privacy, or publicity rights, or other interests not owned by UOSCUA.
