Agreement:
I hereby certify that I have obtained all necessary permission in writing for copyrighted material to be published in my
thesis,
dissertation, or capstone project
. Further, I certify that I have obtained a written permission statement
from
the owner(s) of any
copyrighted matter, property owner(s), organization(s), or institutions to be included in my thesis, dissertation, or capstone project
allowing distribution as specified
below.
Copies of all such permissions are maintained by the author
and will be provided if
requested.
I hereby grant to Eastern Michigan University and its employees the nonexclusive license to archive and make accessible,
under
the conditions specified below, my thesis, dissertation, or capstone project in whole or in part in all forms of media, now or
hereafter known. This
is
a license rather than an assignment. I, therefore, retain all other ownership rights to the copyright of the
thesis, dissertation, or capstone project.
I
also retain the right to use in future works (such as articles or books) all or part of this
document
.
In addition to the unrestricted display
of the bibli
ographic information and the abstract, I agree that the above
mentioned
document be placed in Digital Commons @ EMU with the following status (CHOOSE ONE OPTION):
Open Access Publishing: I authorize immediate worldwide open access to the electronic full text of my work through the Eastern
Michigan University Library
.
Open Access Publishing 1 Year Embargo. I request that the EMU Library embargo (closed - no one can access) the electronic
full text of my work for 1 year. If I want to extend the embargo for a second year, I will notify the Eastern Michigan University
Library in writing. If I do not request an extension at the end of the embargo, I understand that the electronic full text of my work
will default to open access. I understand that my work cannot be embargoed for more than two years.
Restricted Access. I request that the EMU Library restrict access to the electronic full text of my work to the Eastern
Michigan University campus community. I understand that this restriction will expire after 1 year and that I may request
the restriction be extended for one additional year at that time. If I do not request an extension, I understand that the
electronic full text of my work will default to open access.
I
understand that my work may be secured from view for a
total of two years only.
I understand that any embargo or restricted access is at my discretion as the copyright holder and that I may request that the
Eastern Michigan University Library lift this embargo or restricted access at any time.
I agree to abide by the statements above and agree that this approval form updates any and all previous
approval
forms
submitted
.
For a Capstone Project, I understand that the chain of emails to which this form is attached, from Graduate School to myself to
faculty member back to Graduate
School,
indicates approval and permission on the part of all parties involved to post the
document on Digital
Commons @ EMU or any subsequent technology. Theses and dissertations are approved through ProQuest.
