Public performance rights (PPR) are the legal rights granting permission to show the media to an audience.

Since the Library acquires media to support the curriculum, and face-to-face teaching is exempt from Public Performance Rights (PPR), the Library does not typically secure PPR with media purchases. However, some distributors of educational media include PPR in the purchase price or we have specifically requested these rights based upon a University request. In these cases, the Library will note in the RESEARCH@UWW "Get It" tab that the item includes public performance rights. These rights belong to Andersen Library and the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and are intended for official university departments and student organizations.
It is the responsibility of the user, not the Library, to investigate the procurement of PPR rights. The Library will provide reasonable assistance to help users identify if the Library’s copy includes PPR or to identify the distributor who may hold the rights to the media.
