7. Information Usage Survey
As an Annual Copyright License holder we are required to periodically provide CCC with information about the use of copyrighted content on our campus.
We can report content use in one of two ways:
Option #1
Provide a course roster from the registrar with the following information per course for the requested semester:
Course name
Course number
Department name
Course enrollment
Option #2
Use the Annual Copyright License usage reporting tool in Atlas Systems' Ares e-reserves application to report content usage.
