Set up Copyright
Before you can begin to use copyright management, you must enable the Copyright features in OCLC Service Configuration.
To turn on copyright management and related features:
- Sign in to Service Configuration.
- On the left navigation, click WorldShare ILL > Advanced Workflows.
- On the Advanced Workflows screen, under US Copyright Management, select the settings you want to turn on. You must select the first On check box in order to manage copyright and use the other settings. See the Copyright settings table below for details on each copyright setting.
When the copyright check is turned off, you will no longer see the queue and no new entries will be added.

If the issue date is over five years old, you will not have to select a copyright clearance. If the number of years required changed, new requests will be evaluated based on the new setting. Existing requests will maintain the previously selected setting. To change the number of years required for copyright:
