I can tell you Dennis, that the staff at the New York Public Library are insanely anal retentive about copyright laws. For example, in the music reading room at the Performing Arts Branch at Lincoln Center, if want something copied, you are required to fill out forms, then the staff then looks everything over with a fine-tooth comb, and if they agree, the approving person will stamp and sign the document which you THEN take to a copying room and give to another staff person who does the actual photocopying for you. The librarian I spoke with was very clear about this point in regards to the Saur Verlag reproductions, and told me I could photocopy them, scan them into a USB card, ANYTHING I wanted because U.S. law doesn't honor the ability to copyright such reproductions. She allowed me to copy a symphony manuscript reproduction that was in the Garland series because of this precise point.
