The one-year pilot program, beginning September 1, 2016, will consolidate services across the two offices, making the University Libraries’ Copyright Resources Center the single access point for copyright questions and copyright consultation requests from faculty, staff, and students of the university. The Health Sciences Library will provide financial support to the Copyright Resources Center to offset the costs of adding services for Health Sciences Library patrons. The pilot program will be evaluated at the six and twelve month mark.

The partnership is an extension of the existing collaborations between the Health Sciences Library and University Libraries’ copyright units. The pilot program aims to minimize patron confusion on where to go with copyright questions, supporting the university’s value of collaborating as “One university.”
