Licensing and Copyright Copyright law confers rights to creators for the distribution and reproduction of their work. These rights can be superseded by fair use, licenses or public domain. Public domain applies to works published before 1923 or works created by the United States government Licenses are agreements for the creator to give up certain rights for a work. This can be for a fee or free. Fee: Library licenses, song licenses, public viewing licenses, etc. Free: Creative Commons licensing Fair use is complicated and arguable. Tolerance of risk.

Fair Use To claim fair use, you must decide if your use meets the 4 factors test Purpose and character of use Nature of work Amount and substantiality of portion used Effect of use on market All 4 factors must be evaluated. It’s not fair use if you only meet one.

Copyright in Canvas Online classes have a different standard than face-to-face Generally, library resources are safe for use in Canvas – licenses supersede copyright Best Practices Link to actual online resource – don’t upload the content directly into Canvas Use online library version of articles, rather than open web versions More stable, licensed for your use Look for copyright statement or license and abide by its terms Creative Commons is a powerful tool If not using online library materials, rotate your content Only available to enrolled students in class Don’t remove copyright notices or DRM Make sure content on open web is not pirated before using

A Word on Accessibility All digital materials used in a college class must be accessible Accessibility = making materials usable to people with disabilities. This can include anything from using colors that color-blind students can see to adding notations for students using screen readers. There are different levels of accessibility. Many materials do not follow the most stringent standard, even those created by publishers. Publishers are required to provide a VPAT statement on request. The library can obtain these for our materials Ask me if you want me to check a specific library resource
