For U.S. publications, that means<strong> published more than 75 years ago <\/strong> or for which evidence can be provided that the item is no longer under copyright. For items that were published in a country that is a member of the European Union, we are limiting our digitization efforts to<strong> those works by composers who died more than 70 years ago<\/strong>. Please use this form for such requests.<\/p>\n<p>Scores and books are digitized in pdf format. There is at present no charge for this service. Requesting a significant number of items at a time may cause this policy to be revisited. Please limit requests to two per week.<\/p>\n<p>Rare and fragile items housed in the library\u2019s Special Collections department (that is, with a location of \u201cSibley Music Rare Books\u201d in the catalog record) will be scanned only if deemed safe for scanning . You will be advised by email if the requested item cannot be scanned. Please note that due to the nature of the items, the staff time involved, and the sheer volume of requests, Rare Books items may take several months to process.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that while items in the library\u2019s general stacks are usually digitized free of charge, it will be necessary to levy a fee for any item that also requires this kind of special handling. Decisions regarding treatment of materials from the rare books collection will be referred to the Special Collections Librarian.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;
