CU Libraries, ITS, Print Shop and legal counsel have worked together to provide services to address the use of copyrighted works in teaching.

Services for Teaching and Research CU Libraries Linking Service: The Libraries provides access to significant content through its licenses to many journals, newspapers, and other publications for use as course materials. Copyright Clearance Center Annual Copyright License: Beginning Fall 2014, the University Libraries have contracted with the Copyright Clearance Center for their Annual Copyright License that enables everyone at Colgate University to reproduce and distribute text-based copyrighted content, in both print This license provides faculty, librarians and research and administrative staff with comprehensive, institution-wide coverage for the reuse of text-based copyrighted content in both print and electronic formats for educational and research purposes. Some common uses covered by the license include:
Types of use not covered the Academic License are copying an entire work or most of it, non-educational uses (e.g. promotional and advertising), performance rights, graphic material without the accompanying text, interlibrary loan, and some items covered by the license but subject to individual publisher restrictions as noted in the license. CCC Annual License and Library Reserves: We recommend that faculty utilize the Libraries Course Reserves process to post book chapters, journal articles, or a poem, essay or excerpt to electronic reserves via Moodle since library staff will insure coverage and secure permissions for what we anticipate will be a very small number of items. |
