- Resources to take: 1) CLA Copyright header sheet as an example 2) CLA Licence User guidelines 3) Audit checklist 4) My book on Electronic resources in the VLE 5) One of my copyright books 6) LSE copyright booklets (both copies)
- I start by asking if you can managing copyright issues in e-learning? Is it not a little like herding cats as they say? Copyright is all about managing risk, and when it comes to e-learning and VLEs we can’t control 100% what people will upload into the VLE – and nor should we want to. Teaching is a creative process and people shouldn’t be stifled as teachers. Technically I can’t stop anyone from downloading an image from the internet and using it in their PowerPoint, or scanning a chapter from a book and adding it to their reading list. However we can put various things in place to manage many of the risks, and to ensure that teachers have all the information they require and that our services support them working legally.
- I you are dealing with copyright in libraries I would suggest getting one of the highly practical guides written for librarirans, written by authors such as Graham Cornish or Sandy Norman. These books are written as FAQ type books and very useful for answering queries you may receive from academic staff and other library users.
- Jane Copyright is covered by civil law – no copyright police force – copyright owner needs to take infringer to court. Some agencies (e.g CLA) act on behalf of rightsholders and will look for infringement and take action. Copyright covers the expression of an idea, not the idea itself, so must be fixed in some way.
- Jane Copyright is covered by civil law – no copyright police force – copyright owner needs to take infringer to court. Some agencies (e.g CLA) act on behalf of rightsholders and will look for infringement and take action. Databases – separate rights – something qualifies for database rights if you have invested time and effort in constructing a database – even if the content is freely available.
- Maria Look for C in Circle to identify rightsholder – might not be author – example of book often owned by publisher not author.
- Maria Crown copyright material subject to a waiver – so can be copied without infringing ‘ Unrestricted copying’ of certain categories of material permitted Most material on UK central government websites can be used for educational purposes without permission Some operate a ‘click and use’ licence but no fee For more details see: http://www.hmso.gov.uk/guides.htm
- Jane What is "fair" depends on the quality and degree of what you took. In England, Time Warner sued Channel 4 for using 12 minutes of footage from A Clockwork Orange in a half hour arts documentary about the film’s power as social commentary. Channel 4 successfully argued the criticism or review defence.
- Jane Downloading information from websites would usually be covered by an implicit licence
- Jane The Shetland Times vs. Shetland News case involved two rival newspapers and the use of hyperlinking to another site which objected. The case was settled out of court. With the TotalNews case, copyright was infringed by taking material from other Web sites and putting it into a TotalNews frame, in a manner which made it appear they were the originators of the materials. This was not a copyright case but a US-based law of ‘Passing Off’, i.e. passing off the material as your own.
- Can use creative commons to licence your own work on the web. Can also find material licensed under CC and be confident that you can re-use it without needing to get permission. Usually you will need to attribute the author, and must share any resulting work under a CC licence. Some people licence material for commercial purposes as several different options.
- Maria Licensing Schemes A number of licensing schemes that allow copying beyond the permitted acts: Copyright Licensing Agency HE Licence Educational Recording Agency (ERA Licence) Newspaper Licensing Agency Open University (separate licence needed) Others
- Exact wording of the copyright notice set out in Schedule of the Licence Realise that can’t technically restrict readings to groups of students always, so LSE copyright cover sheet includes a statement to say only students on the course of study should download or print the reading Reading list systems that allow browsing are fine but you must be able to present usage stats during a CLA Audit to prove that excessive students are not accessing the reading other than those on a course Scanning can be devolved to staff, but a managed service works best and is what CLA prefer if staff resources allow this
- CLT manage the service and our guidance suggests that staff are not allowed to digitise material themselves
- Growing demand for this service – managing on a shoe string rather!
