Permission Guidelines

Requesting Permissions for Reprinting or Photocopying Loyola Press Material

Who can grant permission to reproduce copyrighted material?

Generally either the copyright holder or a party who has obtained an exclusive grant of rights from the copyright holder.

However, a copyright holder (typically, an author) who has granted exclusive rights to another (typically, a publisher) is no longer free to grant permission to third parties. That permission must come from the current holder of the exclusive rights. On the other hand, a publisher who has received only non-exclusive rights to publish material is not generally entitled to grant permission to others to reprint that material.

Clearly locating the correct permissions grantor is the first step in obtaining reprint permissions, and while many conditions affect who actually holds the right to grant reprint permission, here are some general tips on where to begin:

• If the material is in print, start with the original publisher.
• If the material is out of print, start with the copyright holder as stated in the copyright notice.
• If the material is itself reprinted (as, say, an article from an anthology or quoted material in a body of text),start with the original source as credited in the copyright page, the acknowledgements, or footnotes and endnotes.

Note also, if the material is a translation, permission must be obtained for both the translation and the original text.
