Boston University Libraries make every effort to ensure that we have the appropriate rights to ingest and provide access to content. In those cases where the rights are unclear (e.g., when we encounter copyright information that, relative to the work in hand, is ambiguous or contradictory), we archive but do not provide access to the work. Where possible, Boston University Libraries secure rights to use works that are in copyright. Parties who have questions or who wish to contest the use of specific works may contact the Open<\/span>BU Institutional Repository at <\/span>open-help@bu.edu<\/span><\/a> or<\/span><\/p>\n

    Boston University Libraries will respond to any email correspondence within two business days, and one week if sent by physical mail. If we are not able to determine, within two business days by email and within one week for physical mail, that we are permitted to use the work(s) in question, the Libraries will cease providing access to the work until or unless it can determine that such uses are permitted. Boston University Libraries may work with the Boston University\u2019s Office of the General Counsel to make determinations about appropriate use. Depending on these determinations, the Libraries may restrict access to the work(s) in question or remove them from its systems. Removing the work(s) in question will result in the Libraries ceasing to provide long-term preservation resources to the digitized content. Parties who wish to contest Boston University Libraries\u2019 uses of specific works may, at their discretion, issue a DMCA takedown notice to the University\u2019s DMCA compliance officer.
