Reproduction of copyrighted material, without prior permission of the copyright owner, particularly in an academic setting, is an issue of concern for the academic community. Unfortunately, the impropriety of much unauthorized copying is all too often overlooked by users in an educational setting.

Although copying all or part of a work without obtaining permission may appear to be an easy and convenient solution to an immediate problem, such unauthorized copying can frequently violate the rights of the author or publisher of the copyrighted work, and be directly contrary to the academic mission to teach respect for ideas and for the intellectual property that expresses those ideas.

With this in mind, the UCSB Bookstore has sought permission and paid proper royalties for all materials enclosed. The price of this reader or reprinted books reflects those costs.
