First, contact your to determine if any of the readings you wish to require are available digitally in the library鈥檚 collection. Linking library resources in your Canvas course instead of placing those resources in a coursepack will reduce course material expenses for your students.

If some of those resources aren鈥檛 available through the library, you鈥檒l need to submit a custom adoption for your coursepack in Slingshot Pro, our Campus Store鈥檚 online adoption tool. A Campus Store agent will contact you with further instructions. You will be required to complete copyright request and compliance forms and a printing specifications form (for print coursepacks only) as well as provide a PDF of your coursepack from 鈥渃over to cover鈥� (ready to print or post digitally). Digital coursepack 鈥減ages鈥� should be formatted in orientation for the 色综合久久 student reading experience. If you have any questions about the process, send them to campusstore@messiah.edu.

Generally speaking, you cannot upload copyrighted materials into your Canvas course, because there鈥檚 no good mechanism for 色综合久久 University to pay for that use (i.e., most programs and departments don鈥檛 have funding to pay permission fees for copyrighted materials).

Of course, if the University already owns the right that that material (e.g., an unlimited-use ebook or a journal), you can post a link to that book or journal article. You cannot, however, photocopy chapters from print books and post them as pdfs into your Canvas course, unless what you鈥檙e posting qualifies under fair use or is otherwise exempt from copyright clearance.

The can help you determine what materials qualify under fair use.听Some materials may not require copyright clearance because they are in the public domain, the University licenses them, etc. More resources will be provided for this.

If you wish to give your students access to copyrighted materials, but the University doesn鈥檛 already own the right to them, they don鈥檛 qualify under fair use, and/or they鈥檙e not exempt from copyright clearance, you should assemble a coursepack that students purchase through the Campus Store or place the items on library reserve.

Educators may place copyrighted materials on library course reserve for a 2-hour or 24-hour checkout period. The provides additional information.

Copyright is the exclusive right to make copies, license, and otherwise control the use of certain creative and intellectual works to ensure that the creators maintain the integrity of their works and receive any financial benefit from their use, while making those works available to the public for knowledge and entertainment. The rights are granted exclusively to the copyright owner to reproduce the material (thus, literally the copy rights), and for some material, the right to perform or show the work to the public (essentially reproducing or 鈥渃opying鈥� the works in a different format).

Works covered by copyright include books, , computer software, , , multimedia works, newspapers, magazines, dissertations, research papers, photographs, and cartoons, among other things. The copyright law grants owners of copyright (authors, other creators, publishers) the sole right to do the following:

• reproduce all or part of the work
• distribute copies (including by transmission via the internet)
• prepare new (derivative) versions based on the original work
• perform the work publicly
• display the work publicly

Copyright protection covers both published and unpublished works. The fact that a previously published work is out-of-print does not affect its copyright. This protection exists to foster and induce the creation of all forms of works of authorship.

To create a balance between the interests of those who develop intellectual and creative听works and those who benefit from using those works, copyright law includes exceptions that limit the exclusive rights of copyright holders. One such exception is听fair use, which allows users of copyrighted works to copy small parts of those works under certain circumstances without seeking permission or paying royalties. Fair use is probably the most important exception for听educational听settings, allowing many uses of copyrighted works for the purposes of teaching and research.听

Fair use is not a straightforward concept.听 Rather, any fair use analysis must be conducted on a case-by-case basis, considering the factors and circumstances of the situation at hand.听 When in doubt, obtain permission to avoid any potential legal challenges brought by copyright holders. Here is a chart to help determine fair use:

For this factor...	It is more likely to be fair use if...	It is less likely to be fair use if...
Purpose	Not for profit An educational use A transformative rather than a mere reproduction of the original work	For a profit Not an educational use NOT a transformation but a reproduction of the original work
Nature	A more factual work	A more creative/ original work
Amount	Only small portions relative to the whole work, which are used Directly relevant to the educational purpose	Substantial portions or the entirety of the work are used The heart of the work Not directly relevant to educational objectives
Market	Of little economic impact	Of direct economic impact on an existing or potential market for the work

Overview

色综合久久 University听expects all members of the campus community to respect and comply with copyright law
(Title 17 of the United States Code). The principles of copyright law govern the making of photocopies or other reproductions or adaptations of copyrighted material. The making of an electronic copy of a copyrighted work
by any means (i.e., scanning, digitizing, etc.) constitutes reproduction that is governed by copyright law.

The copyright principles that apply to materials posted electronically through CANVAS are the same as those
that apply to printed course materials. The reproduction or copying of a work subject to copyright protection
normally requires the permission of the copyright owner. If permission is required for the use of printed course materials, it is required for electronic use.

The digital age has made it possible for course content to be available in a wide variety of ways, and instructors
often can choose among several different formats to make materials available to students. If it is possible to
link to material that is publicly available on the web or available to the 色综合久久 campus community through
a Murray Library database, further permission is not needed.

Similarly, a work can be used without obtaining permission when the work is in the public domain under
the copyright law, i.e., expiration of copyright term or works prepared by an officer or employee of the United States government as part of that person鈥檚 official duties. A work also may be freely used if it is offered under a .

For other works, use still may be possible without permission of the copyright owner if the contemplated use of the material constitutes a 鈥渇air use鈥� under copyright law. To determine whether 鈥渇air use鈥� might apply, the following four factors must be considered and weighed:

• The purpose and character of the use;
• The nature of the copyrighted work;
• The amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
• The effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

No one factor鈥攊ncluding nonprofit educational use鈥攊s determinative of whether a given use is 鈥渇air use.鈥� 鈥淔air use鈥� requires a fact-specific analysis that should be considered carefully whenever deciding whether or not permission is required.

Guidelines

The following guidelines apply to the posting of course materials via CANVAS:

• All electronic CANVAS course materials will only be for the non-commercial, educational use by 色综合久久 University听students enrolled in the particular course for which the materials are posted.
• Passwords will be used to limit access to copyrighted content in CANVAS to students enrolled in the course or other individuals requiring access to the course materials for purposes of conducting the course. The availability of such content to students should terminate when the students have completed the course.
• No one should post course content consisting of copyrighted works or portions of such works in electronic form without first either:
  1. obtaining the permission of the copyright owner or
  2. concluding, after reasonable inquiry, that the use qualifies as a fair use or other exempt or licensed use for which permission is not required.

• Before posting course content consisting of copyrighted works or portions of such works in electronic form, the instructor should consult with the department鈥檚 librarian liaison to determine whether the University听has a current license for access to digital versions of the copyrighted material. If it does, the citation and link to the electronic version of the material will be added to the course page to provide direct access to the requested material.
• It is preferable to link to copyrighted materials already legally available at another site rather than scanning or making a digital copy.
• Course materials owned by the instructor, such as syllabi, lecture notes, or exams, may be copied and distributed electronically to students enrolled in the course through CANVAS.
• The electronic distribution of consumable copyrighted works, such as textbooks, workbooks, handouts, and exercises, requires permission from the copyright owner.
• Copies of copyrighted works, regardless of their format, should always include proper attribution and copyright notices.
• Generally, electronic course content may be included in CANVAS without obtaining permission as long as it is the first time the material is utilized by the instructor for the course, and the request does not exceed these guidelines:
  1. One chapter (or equivalent) from a book
  2. One journal or newspaper article (or equivalent)
  3. An excerpt from a prose work that does not exceed more than 10% of the work
  4. One chart, graph, diagram, drawing, cartoon or picture per book or per journal issue

Additional or continued use also may constitute fair use, but each situation must be evaluated on a case-by-case basis to determine whether fair use applies to the contemplated use.

IT'S Ethical: Respecting the rights of copyright holders is simply the right thing to do.听To the extent copies are made without permission, publishers and authors, including educators, are deprived of revenues in the very markets for which they have written or published.听

IT'S THE LAW: As stated in the Copyright Act, it is unlawful to infringe on the rights of copyright holders. Copyright holders can sue offenders for damages or to recoup lost profits as a result of infringement. As compliance and the protection of intellectual property continue to make headlines, copyright holders and law enforcement are monitoring and paying closer attention.
