FAQs and Rules
DAMAGE AND LIABILITY
The Library cardholder who reserves the production spaces and dedicated equipment will be considered the main user and will bear responsibility for any damage or misuse of the equipment.
Cardholders are responsible for returning and restoring all spaces and equipment to the condition in which they were originally checked out. Faulty equipment or room concerns must be reported immediately.
Broken or damaged equipment, software, or fixtures will be charged at equivalent replacement cost plus shipping and processing fees.
FAIR USE AND COPYRIGHT
U.S. copyright law provisions for fair use of music, artwork and other creative works are extremely restrictive. Each Maker Studio user is personally responsible for knowing the copyright status of any music or graphic material included in digital media projects. Information about U.S. copyright law can be found online at www.copyright.gov.
Numerous resources exist for fair use media materials. Computers and the Library network may not be used to illegally upload, download or copy copyrighted materials including software, music, videos and/or graphics. This includes the use of online services that facilitate the unlicensed sharing of media files.
Concerns about copyright infringement extend to the use of equipment to duplicate copyright-protected documents and graphic materials, including commercial products. Each Maker Studio user assumes all responsibility for observing copyright restrictions when using copiers, scanners or computers in the Library.
