PoliciesIn January 1995 publications were centralized in order to provide a common identity, which represented the university to off-campus audiences. The design and layout of off-campus materials are now the responsibility of the Publications Office, which will coordinate all aspects of the publication mailed to these audiences.Contracting OutAn agreement between the State System of Higher Education (SSHE) and The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) provides guidelines for contracting work off campus. Currently all printing must first be sent to the University Printing Center. If it is determined that the department cannot perform the work, a signed release form from the department must first be obtained. The person requesting the project must submit a Departmental Purchase Request (DPR) on line and forward the release form to the Purchasing department in order for the work to be completed off campus. Work submitted for printing to an off campus vendor will not be paid unless a print release is obtained.Graphic Standards ManualThe graphic standards' program was established in 1986 to create a clear and visual identity. The program applies whenever the university is identified within a visual format, such as on university publications, stationery, signs, and vehicle labels. Elements of the identity and applications of the identity are addressed in the Graphic Standard manual.Graphic Standards HandbookThe graphic standards' handbook was established in 1995 to create a clear and visual identity relating to recruitment publications mailed to off-campus audiences. The Publications Office will coordinate all aspects involving the presentation of recruitment information intended for recruitment.Postal RegulationsThe US Post Office enacted postal rate increases for all mail classes and identified penalties associated with regulatory requirements effective June 30, 2002. Changes affect mail indicia's, publication content, endorsements, format, material, weight, ink color, and size to mention just a few.Postal ProcedureThe procedure to follow for printing a publication is to first contact the Publications Office regarding format and editing, second contact the Printing Center for material specifications, and third contact the IUP Post Office for content specifications.ProductionThe lack of time is the most frequent problem encountered. Even the simplest publication takes time and complicated projects require more time. We know that our clients are caught in the same bind we are, but we always appreciate as much advance warning as possible.CopyrightA copyright is a statutory right to prevent others from copying or adapting an original work of authorship which is fixed in any tangible medium or expression and which can be perceived, reproduced, or otherwise communicated either directly or with the aid of a machine or device. The University regards the unauthorized copying of copyrighted materials as an extremely serious violation of University policy. Violation may result in appropriate sanctions from not only the University, but may also result in civil and/or criminal prosecution. |
