Copyright issues
On any sites with public access, full copyright clearance must be obtained
to publish copyright material on the web,
If you wish to use copyrighted and other electronic material in a course, you
must use the UNSW Library’s MyCourse (Reserve) Digitisation Service.
What are the copyright restrictions?
For uses of copyright material in online courses, under educational license,
the following requirements apply.
The university’s copyright site provides detailed information on copyright
legislation and copyright restrictions at http://www.copyright.unsw.edu.au.
In summary:
-
Hard copy to digital copying of works: 10% of the number of pages in
a work, or one chapter (across the whole university);
-
Digital to digital copying of works: 10% of the number of words in a
work, or one chapter (across the whole university);
-
Copying of periodical publications: one article per issue of a periodical
publication (from either hard or digital copy). More than one article can be copied
if they are on the same specific subject matter. Copying is on a course by course
basis unlike book chapters and other works mentioned above, thereby providing
a little more flexibility with article copying.
- Licence agreements with publishers may restrict copying and communicating
further, or alternatively allow us to reproduce more than the Copyright Act permits.
MyCourse (Reserve) Services can advise regarding the implications of the licence
arrangements and copyright legislation, and suggest alternative means of providing
access to course materials.
What are MyCourse (Reserve) Services?
The University of New South Wales Library Digitisation Service provides a centralised
service for processing all digital copyright and other electronic material required
for student course work. The material is stored on the Library’s server and
is accessed either via the catalogue, MyCourse@UNSW or via school or faculty Web
pages. Students can link directly through WebCT or other teaching platforms to
the material.
The centralised repository, endorsed by the VCAC in 2002, assists the University
to comply with the Copyright Act and provides the necessary record keeping by
creating bibliographic records in the Library catalogue.
The Service will either receive copied material for scanning or retrieve and
copy material in the Library’s collection on behalf of lecturers.
What are copyright course materials?
There are two main types:
- Printed material such as book chapters and journal articles which the Service
scans into PDF format for viewing using Adobe Acrobat Reader;
- Existing digital documents from full text database or electronic journals.
This material will be scanned, licence agreements permitting, and students will
link directly to digital documents using the MyCourse system. Requests to access
this material must come through the Service to ensure that copyright and licence
restrictions are observed.
Lecturers’ own material such as lecture notes, tutorial solutions and
exercises etc. can also be submitted to MyCourse (Reserve) Services for inclusion
in MyCourse resources.
How to submit a request for digitisation
Requests should be submitted to MyCourse (Reserve) Services (level 2 of the
Library) using the MyCourse Submission Form (http://info.library.unsw.edu.au/osd/using/forms/reserveform.html)
or if already in digital form, emailed to osd@unsw.edu.au.
Either way the information listed on the form is required to provide full course
and bibliographic details to fulfil copyright requirements.
