Copyright is the exclusive legal rights granted by a government to an author, editor, compiler, composer, playwright, publisher, or distributor to publish, produce, sell, or distribute copies of a literary, musical, dramatic, artistic, or other work, within certain limitations (Reitz, 2018).
Fair Use is a condition under which copying a work, or a portion of it, does not constitute an infringement of copyright, including copying for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research (Reitz, 2018).
It shall be allowed, without consent of the author or another owner of the right and without paying out royalties, but with compulsory indication of the author, whose work is being used, and of the borrowing resource, to reproduce in a single copy and without profiting:
1) by libraries and archives – of the legally published work with the purpose to recover, change of lost or damaged copies, to provide copies of the work to other libraries that lost for certain reasons the work from their funds;
2) by libraries and archives - of separate articles and small-sized works that are legally published in collections, newspapers and other periodicals, short extracts from legally published written works (with or without illustrations), upon request of natural persons for training and research purposes;
3) by educational institutions – of separate articles and small-sized works that are legally published in collections, newspapers and other periodicals, short extracts from legally published written works (with or without illustrations) for lecturing purposes.
Reproduction of printed information in electronic (including digital) form (USB removable media, CD/DVD, digital cameras, etc.) and photocopying of documents, books, articles, and any other information relating to printed Library collections allowed in a single copy for personal purposes without generating income.
