Why has Drew adopted a copyright policy at this time?
...
Use of the fair use form best protects the University. A contemporaneous record of your decision-making can document the factors you considered and the weight you attached to those factors. This type of documentation can be helpful, and even persuasive, should litigation ensue.
How will this affect Coursepacks?
Each article you submit for a coursepack must be accompanied by a copy of the Copyright Certification form (Word version; pdf version), and, if necessary, a Fair Use checklist. These forms will be duplicated in your coursepack.
What are the restrictions on video in the classroom?
...
- All videos currently owned in the Media Library are available for use in the classroom.
- Some, but not all, videos are also licensed for public performance and/or DrewTV showing. Please ask library staff to check on the licensing if planning to use Media Library videos outside face-to-face teaching.
- All Media Library videos can be placed on reserve for students to watch individually in the library on the library video equipment in LC16 or on personally owned laptops in the library, if they have the correct viewing software. (The library does not provide technical support for playing videos on personal computers.)
- When requesting that the Media Library obtain a video, users must be sure to detail the type and number of showings they plan to use the video for. Library staff will do their best to obtain the requested licensing. Users must abide by the licensing.The Library maintains its media collection for use on Library Reserves and for classroom use only. Should you wish to plan for a public showing, the library has neither the staff nor the budget to provide Public Performance Rights (PPRs.) It is the responsibility of the academic department or club to locate and acquire the necessary rights. Currently, the office of Student Activities can provide assistance in this. On rare occasions, DVDs are offered for sale only with PPRs; the library will, on those occasions, purchase these, including the licenses and absorb the cost to the extent that the budget allows.
