This is a gentle reminder from your friends at the University of Michigan Library in response to the coverage of the copyright infringement case against the local shop Excel (Excel Test Prep loses lawsuit over copyright infringement, 10/30/2009). The University Library acquires through purchase and license a phenomenal range of materials available to University students and faculty. Many materials are available electronically through our website. All of these materials are legally available for your academic needs. Before seeking copies through a course pack, take a moment to see if we have what you need.
Our librarians can help you in person at any of our locations, and of course at www.lib.umich.edu. For copyright guidance, go to www.lib.umich.edu/copyright.
