I have an image or video I want to use in class - can I?
Yes - you can. If it falls within the following requirements:
I need to provide material to my students. Do the copying limits apply per Lecture? per Course? per University?
Print material – Generally interpreted as applying per course
Example: You can photocopy one chapter from a book for students in one course and a different chapter from the same book for another course.
Online material – Limits apply per course
Example: You can communicate one chapter from a book for students in one course and a different chapter from the same book for another course. BUT, these need to submitted to eReserve to ensure that the University does not breach these copyright conditions.
eReserve: a centralised approach
Limits to each item submitted to eReserve
For books, 10% of the total number of pages, or one chapter if the work is broken up into chapters.
For journal articles, one article from an issue of a journal, or more than one if they are on the same subject matter.
Please see the eReserve Guide for more information - library.nd.edu.au/ereserve
Can I ask the Library to make one chapter from a book available online via eReserve and then take that chapter down and make another chapter available for the same course of study and so on?
No - sequential or serial copying and communication of chapters from a single book for the same course of study is not permitted under the Copyright Act 1968 (Cth).
Only one chapter or 10% of the pages in a book can be copied for each course. If you ask the University Library to copy more than one chapter from a book for a course you will have exceeded this limit and be operating outside the protection of the New Statutory Licence of the Copyright Act.
I want to put something in eReserve but there is already something from that same work in eReserve. What can I do?
It is possible to make two chapters from the same work available through eReserve provided each chapter is for a different course of study/course.
Limits to each item submitted to eReserve
Why can't I make digital copies of copyright materials for the LMS (Blackboard) myself?
Unless you hold the copyright of a text, or have explicit permission from the copyright holder, making a copy available in the LMS is likely to breach copyright.
The Library's eReserve Service will do the following for you:
