PNCWA will review the material under its Fair Use Test and if it meets its criteria permission will be granted. PNCWA reserves the right to deny permission. The Fair Use Test, in summation, would examine (1) the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes, (2) the nature of the copyrighted work, (3) the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole, and (4) the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work. * Blanket permission to publish titles and bibliographic information or abstracts will be granted, if the request or permission specifically excludes selling full-text copies, in either print or electronic formats, of the original work cited. * Permission to use entire technical publications or conference proceedings will not be granted.

Conversely, if permission is requested to digitize substantial portions of a technical publication for use in a new publication or program, available on CD-ROM or the Internet, permission is denied.
