AATCC, a leading not-for-profit association, has announced that to assist its members during the Covid-19 pandemic, the association has authorised its copyright manager, the Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), to issue zero-cost licenses to academic institutions and educators to use copyrighted AATCC materials to continue online education during the crisis.

This authorisation includes uses such as (but not limited to) reproduction and distribution, display (such as through a computer), and other copyright-protected rights to the extent AATCC has the rights to grant them. This authorisation is valid through August 1, 2020 and does not include commercial, non-educational use of AATCC copyrighted materials.

Educators who are AATCC members may use any materials included in the AATCC Journal of Research and AATCC Review and download pdf versions of papers or articles from the publications. They may also use any materials from the AATCC News Newsletter or the archives of the American Dyestuff Reporter (the latter by filling out a form to request the specific issue desired).

Educators who are not AATCC members may be able to obtain some of these resources through their university library and are still permitted to use the resources without paying for a copyright license through August 1.
