library or archives, or any of its employees acting within the scope of
their employment, to reproduce no more than one copy or phonorecord of a

(3) the reproduction or distribution of the work includes a notice of
copyright that appears on the copy or phonorecord that is reproduced
under the provisions of this section, or includes a legend stating that
the work may be protected by copy-right if no such notice can be found
on the copy or phonorecord that is reproduced under the provisions of
this section.
(b) The rights of reproduction and distribution under this section apply
to three copies or phonorecords of an unpublished work duplicated solely

archives.
(c) The right of reproduction under this section applies to three copies
or phonorecords of a published work duplicated solely for the purpose of
replacement of a copy or phonorecord that is damaged, deteriorating,

has become obsolete, if-
(1) the library or archives has, after a reasonable effort, determined
that an unused replacement cannot be obtained at a fair price; and
(2) any such copy or phonorecord that is reproduced in digital format is
