Rules for Lookup Volunteers

• Volunteers may do unlimited lookups if and only if:
1. The lookup volunteer is the actual author and copyright holder of the publication.
2. The lookup volunteer is using primary source documents ... whether they are treking to the courthouse or using their own xeroxed copies of public domain documents.
3. The lookup volunteer has written permission from the author / copyright holder to use their publication for lookups
• Volunteers may be able to make certain limited scope lookups in copyrighted publications under the "fair use" provisions of existing law.
• Potential volunteers are encouraged to review the explanations of copyright protection, especially the "fair use" provisions, available elsewhere on the Web.
• USGenWeb policy regarding copyright, and links to an explanation of the provisions, are located at: http://www.usgenweb.com/volunteers/copyright.html.

Rules for Lookup Requests

• Mention the name of the book in your message.
• Our volunteers aren't mind-readers &
• they may not remember which books they volunteered for.
• Make your requests for lookup limited in scope.
• "Tell me everything about the Smiths" is probably too broad. <grin>
