    All of our atlases for circulation are just out there for anyone to copy
    as much as they want. Our reserve atlases that do not circulate we will
    xerox a "limited" number of pages for patrons. We have no self service
    scanners of any size, and all scanning requesters must fill out a form
    that addresses copyright questions which is either approved or denied by
    Mary (the copyright wizard). Yes, we take copyright questions very
    seriously.
