Any material published by The APA for which The APA holds copyright (e.g., Presidential Addresses, lectures, committee reports, articles from APA Newsletters) may be reproduced for personal use by students, faculty members, or libraries, in single copy only, without charge.
Such materials may be copied by individuals, libraries, agencies or other institutions for a fee (payable to the APA) based on the following scale:

Important Exceptions:

The author(s) of any material for which The APA holds copyright may make multiple copies without charge.
When the material is available from the APA as a booklet, the material is to be purchased as a booklet. Permission to make multiple copies will not be granted. Rather, multiple copies may be purchased from the APA (see Directory of Publications for available materials).
