Consider making use of digital resources when setting the required reading for courses and familiarise yourself with licencing agreements to avoid the incorrect use of copyrighted material.
Considerations:
- Is the work copyrighted?
- How will the material be used? As part of the required reading, on a distance course or during a lecture?
- Does the library provide access to e-books or e-journals in your subject?
- Are there free resources or material under Creative Common licences available?
- Are there exceptions in copyright law that allow for the use of materials, such as the making of copies for private use?
- What is allowed under the Bonus Agreement?
- Do you need to obtain permission from the copyright holder or publisher?
Select the appropriate alternative based on intended usage.
- Freely available resources
- E-resources from the library
- The copying agreement with Bonus Copyright Access
- Permission from the copyright holder
