Faculty have a legal responsibility to ensure that the work they wish to distribute to students has proper copyright clearance or falls within the definition of fair use.\u00a0 This applies to resources that you plan on distributing via a course Moodle site or through a course packet.\u00a0 To assist you with this practice, Collins Library provides several resources:<\/p>\n

Copyright Guide for Faculty: <\/a><\/strong> This site outlines copyright basics, fair use and provides an overview of copyright issues associated with teaching, including guidelines to follow when posting on Moodle as well preparing course packs.<\/p>\n

Copyright Clearance Center Site License: <\/a><\/strong> The University of Puget Sound has purchased an Annual Copyright License from\u00a0 the Copyright Clearance Center:<\/strong> http:\/\/www.copyright.com\/<\/a>. This license covers a large catalog of\u00a0text-based materials. It\u00a0enables the university community to reproduce and distribute specific copyrighted content that falls under this license in both print and digital form.\u00a0 The license\u00a0covers over a million titles, including journals, magazines, newspapers, and books, and it grants university employees and students the right to use and distribute\u00a0content in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  • Postings in Moodle<\/li>\n
  • Course packs (print and electronic)<\/li>\n
  • Library\u00a0reserves (print and electronic)<\/li>\n
  • Classroom\u00a0handout<\/li>\n
  • Internal email<\/li>\n

If publications are not covered under the CCC license agreement, you may obtain permission for course pack materials by using the\u00a0Copyright Clearance Center’s pay-per-use service. Contact Eric Peckham: epeckham@pugetsound.edu<\/a> in the Bookstore for information.<\/p>\n

Fair Use:<\/strong> \u201cKnow Your Copy Rights<\/em>\u201d<\/a> is a useful reference that outlines some of the works you may use in your teaching without permission or fee. The digital age has made potential course content available in a wide variety of ways, and faculty can often choose amongst several formats to make reading, viewing and listening materials available to students. Collins Memorial Library licenses over 150 database resources in a wide range of subjects. Most of these materials can be made available through an embedded link in a Moodle page or online syllabus because students are connecting as authorized users.\u00a0 Additionally, permission is not needed if the works are in the public domain (generally, material published before 1923) or are offered freely under a Creative Commons license<\/a>. For other material, a fair use analysis should be considered; if fair use is determined not to apply to the specific use, permission must be obtained.\u00a0 A fair use checklist is available at: <\/strong>http:\/\/library.ups.edu\/copyright\/Appendix%20B.pdf<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Author Rights: <\/a><\/strong> Faculty retain copyright ownership of their scholarly or artistic work. As the author of a work, faculty may assign copyright ownership to another person or organization, such as a publisher, when there is a written agreement. When faculty transfer copyright, they may be required to ask permission for subsequent use of their work, including:<\/p>\n
