Why has Drew adopted a copyright policy at this time?
The U.S. Higher Education Opportunity Act and the TEACH act require universities to have copyright policies and a copyright education process.
Do I have to fill out a Fair Use Checklist for every copyrighted work I use?
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.
Personally owned copies of videos
...
- Legally obtained personal copies of videos can be used in the face-to-face classroom or placed on reserve.
...
- In order to show personal copies of videos on DrewTV or in a public (non-classroom) setting, proof of appropriate (public performance and/or broadcast) licensing must be obtained. Library Acquisitions staff can assist in obtaining licensing---fill out the Media Library request form.
Streaming video
- The library has subscriptions to a number of ‘streaming video’ services that allow Drew users to watch certain videos online. Whether the video service must be accessed through Moodle or not depends on the license; videos available from the Library’s subject databases (BBC Shakespeare, Black Studies Center, etc.) can be linked to directly. Drew userid and password will be required for (individual) off-campus use when available. Contact Dorothy Meaney to find out more.
- Videos available on the open internet may be shown in the classroom and *linked* to from inside Moodle. Please do not store videos obtained from the open internet on Drew resources such as Moodle without obtaining appropriate licensing (such as Creative Commons).
...
- downloading and redistributing another site's content via email or drew servers.

What about material that the library subscribes to electronically?
We suggest that when sharing Drew Library owned material, you provide students and colleagues with links to the online site rather than downloading and/or forwarding the articles. For more information, see Library Online Resources - Intellectual Property.
