Tune In October 2 for a Free Web Seminar on the Annual Copyright License, a New Tool for Copyrights on Campus

Colleges and universities routinely struggle to address their copyright licensing needs campus-wide. How do faculty, library, bookstore staff, and others on campus effectively assess and secure the rights to copy material for coursepacks, classroom handouts, reserves, course Web pages, e-mail, and more? Are instructors getting permission to post published content on course management systems and electronic reserves when fair use may not apply?

To address these challenges, Copyright Clearance Center (CCC) recently unveiled the Annual Copyright License for Academic Institutions, a comprehensive campus-wide license that permits campus faculty, staff, and researchers to use and share copyrighted text-based content online and in print. In this free October 2 EDUCAUSE Live! Web seminar, Annual Copyright License—A New Tool for Permissions, Tim Bowen, Product Manager for academic licensing at CCC, and Jeff Rehbach, LIS Policy Advisor at Middlebury College, will discuss how staff members at Middlebury College, the license's charter client, helped CCC shape this new licensing service and how they're using it to address their copyright needs. This session will also include a brief overview of the license itself.

Those unable to attend may wish to visit the archives after the event or browse related EDUCAUSE resources on Licensing and Licensing Policies.
