Why should I care about copyright? Copyright for academic modules.

What is copyright?

Copyright is a legal protection for a creator or an author which restricts the copying of an

original work

A good copyright habit is a good academic skill


Which laws affect copyright?

• The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act, 1988 (CDPA)

The CDPA defines what we can and cannot do and has been significantly amended over the years

• Digital Economy Act 2010

– The Hargreaves Review: The government is shaping copyright & I.P. legislation for 2011 and beyond

Respecting copyright or any other intellectual property rights is not only about obeying the law but is an ethical issue


What do I need to know?

What rights does it give?

• Moral rights which are non-transferable

• Economic rights which can be sold or transferred to another party e.g. a journal publisher

• The rights holder is the only person who can permit copying or adaptation of work, unless allowed under fair dealing, criticism or review

Information Services and Systems Copyright is automatic

Works can be defined as written material; dramatic works; music; computer programs; web sites;

databases; sound recordings; films; broadcasts and published editions of a work

for example...

Original literary, dramatic, musical or artistic works

• last until 70 years after the death of the author

• sound recordings recently changed to 70 years+

Computer generated material, broadcasts

• last 50 years


Copyright and the individual We can do certain things under the provisions of

this Act for “educational purposes”

• Educational copying is done under the ‘fair dealing’ defence

• You can make a single copy for non-commercial private study and research or for criticism and review

• Multiple copying for a small number of handouts (1 per student)

Information Services and Systems Why now?

Think about risk management

• An increase in staff creating content

for BlackBoard or web-pages

- using multimedia material can create

complicated layers of rights holders

• RIS: Research Information System

• CRONFA: the institutional repository

- manage your own author rights for the maximum benefit of research and society


Copyright in a teaching environment

Before making extracts available to students ensure that:

• you or the university own the copyright or;

• you use extracts created under the terms of the Copyright Licensing Agency licence (CLA) or;

• the material must be out of copyright or;

• you must have permission of the copyright holder or;

• the copying is done for the purpose of exams or

assessment which contributes to the final course

mark


How much may be copied? Under ‘fair dealing’ exceptions we suggest:

• 5% of the original work or;

• in the case of a book, one complete chapter or;

• in the case of an article in an issue of a serial publication or in a set of conference proceedings, one whole article or;

• in the case of an anthology of short stories or poems, one short story or poem not exceeding ten pages in length or;

• in the case of a published report of judicial proceedings, the entire report of a single case


What is the CLA licence?

Swansea University holds the CLA Photocopying & Scanning Licence from the Copyright Licensing

Agency (CLA)for multiple copying and digitisation of extracts from published print-based publications

This means…

• It allows ISS to make paper to digital copies of extracts from printed books, journals or magazines

• It permits us to make scans available to Swansea University students via Blackboard, a securely authenticated network

Information Services and Systems Why use ISS for scanning?

• Swansea University have designated staff in Document Supply Services to fulfill the compulsory record-keeping and annual data reporting functions of the CLA licence

• The Library can offer copyright guidance and help to support compliance

• We can provide a ‘free’ scanning service to support e-learning for material in our own stock

You are not permitted to make your own scans of published material for BB

...but who is watching?

...well you never know

for example, the CLA audits UK higher education institutions and can demand access to Blackboard to look at content...

... but most copyright infringement actions usually result from tip-offs... so consider the reputation of the University

What may be copied?

Current digital territories for copying or scanning include:

U.K., U.S.A., Canada, Denmark, Norway, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, Hong Kong, Spain, France & Switzerland

Material published outside the current digital territories can only be copied

There are some excluded U.S. publishers


What about linking to ISS resources?

If we have an electronic subscription you are

usually permitted to create a persistent link to the item

in your BB module

See our webpage or handout

“Linking to ISS Resources”

What are DIGEX & PHOTEX?

DIGEX (digitised extracts)

Depositing scanned articles from:

• current digital territories

• original copy must be held in our own stock or obtained as a copyright-fee paid copy

PHOTEX (photocopied extracts)

what is it for?

Depositing printed articles:

• if material is unsuitable for digitising because it falls outside the scope of the CLA licence, printed articles default to Photex

• if no Blackboard module exists


Where does the DIGEX article go?

• We deposit the PDF file within the BB module in a folder called Digex Scans

and then what happens…

• Instructions will be sent to you about activating the scan

• Access to the Digex article is restricted to the module supervisor, as well as students enrolled on the designated module via an Athens login for a “course of study”


Where does the PHOTEX article go?

• Each Photex article is assigned a number and the physical copy is kept at the Library Issue Desk

• We will create a course collection record in Voyager for each article so it can be found on a keyword search by module number, for example, EN-394 or EN394 or by author / title words

What else do we get asked about?


Can I add an image to a Blackboard module?

• use “copyright free” images or Creative Commons images or;

• you or the university must own the copyright or;

• the material must be out of copyright or;

• you must have permission of the copyright holder or pay a royalty fee

Don’t forget to acknowledge the source of the image


Can I add an image to a PowerPoint?

Using an image/illustration is acceptable for classroom presentation and handouts (educational exception)

You can make an electronic copy of the presentation if:

You use copyright cleared images

The material is out of copyright

You have the rights holder’s permission

If not – it is a high risk exercise, use caution

Creative Commons licences enable you to copy, distribute, use and alter works according to the particular strength of the associated licence

• Share, use or build upon; commercial or non-commercial

• Free, easy to use licensing tools giving pre-cleared usage rights –

look for the logo

What is Creative Commons?


Specific permissions

Remember to:

• Obey the assigned licence

• Attribute the content

• Use an attribution software tool to add information straight into documents and images


Use creative commons as a tool

use it to...

• Manage your own copyright

• Collaborate and share material on your terms

• Creative Commons clearly displays the terms and conditions of a licence

• Focus on the positive aspects of sharing resources – most people switch off when you mention copyright


How do I find copyright-cleared images?

• Use free photo collections like Flickr (select CC from advanced search), flickrCC , Stock.xchng , morgueFile

• Use a free stock photo search engine like Veezzle

• Use specialised collections created for educational use – we have a ‘Media & Images’ web-page which

lists resources giving access to thousands of images suitable for educational use

• Ask the Marketing Department about University stock photos

http://www.swan.ac.uk/lis/helpandguides/copyrightguidance/imagesmedia/


One thing to remember…

Be aware that the person uploading an image to the web may not own the rights!

Check re-use permissions if unsure or run your picture through a ‘reverse image search engine’ like TinEye

BottleLeaf

Can I add a map to my Blackboard module?

• Yes, Use Digimap for Ordnance Survey maps and adhere to the terms of the licence (University subscription service)

• For other map providers, check terms and conditions
