Chalmer Davee Library at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls is a nonprofit institution of higher education and is responsible, in part, for the collection and preservation of digitial resources of interest. The University, on behalf of the University of Wisconsin Board of Regents, respectfully requests permission to digitize your work(s) for Internet distribution in image and text formats for an unlimited term. Digitized versions will be made available via the Internet, for on-line and off-line educational use, with a copyright statement identifying your rights as copyright holder and the terms of the grant of permissions.

Please complete the Grant of Permission Form and return it via email to Heidi Southworth. If you wish to include more than one work in the repository, please fill out one grant of permission form and include all the titles and the original place and year that the items were submitted to or presented at. Please note that by checking the box on the form, you are granting the Library permission to place your work in the MINDS@UW-River Falls Institutional Repository.

If you have trouble filling out the Grant of Permission Form or in sending it, you may also fill out a word version of the form. Click HERE to access this word document. You can then fill it out, save it as a document on your desktop (choose "file" and then "save as") and send it as an email attachment to heidi.southworth@uwrf.edu. If you continue to have problems with the form, please contact Heidi Southworth.

Moreover, if you wish for your work(s) to be included in the repository, the Library will need an electronic copy of your work(s) (PDF, Power Point, Word Document, Photograph or other type of file) sent to Heidi Southworth at heidi.southworth@uwrf.edu. All electronic copies will be converted to PDF format to ensure that the original composition will be retained, thus allowing no one to alter or change a person's work.

The Library asks permission of all people, whether faculty, staff, or student, who participated in the creation of work. If the Library does not receive permission from all parties involved, the work will not be included in the repository. Additionally, any individual involved in a work's creation has the right to deny or limit the inclusion of a work in the repository. If you or any one else involved in a project does not wish to include a work in the repository, please send an email to Heidi Southworth indicating that you do not want a particular work to be included in the MINDS@UW-River Falls project.
