SOURCES OF PERMISSIONS
It’s always most efficient to request permission directly from the rights holder if you need it. The OU Press link below shows the sort of form you might encounter. But if you are having trouble finding the rights holder, try these options:
- Copyright Clearance Center, Inc.The major source for permissions for print materials.
- Copyright Office RecordsDatabase of copyright renewals for books published 1923-1963.
- Copyright Office RecordsSearch records back to 1978 for copyrighted material in a number of categories.
- Rights and Permission, University of Oklahoma PressA good example of a publisher’s rights and permission page, with online forms.
