Complying with copyright law is more challenging to academic institutions than ever before. The traditional focus on photocopied classroom handouts and paper-based interlibrary loan has evolved into a more complex set of content uses such as the Internet, course management systems, customized coursepacks, and e-reserves. These newer, faster and more convenient ways of using and sharing information are prompting educators and students alike to ask a whole new set of copyright questions.
The Campus Guide to Copyright Compliance helps answer these
questions. It addresses difficult copyright questions and provides
guidelines and resources—including a sample compliance policy—to
help Boise State faculty, students, and staff ensure compliance campus-wide.
Regardless of your level of copyright awareness, this guide can
serve as a valuable information resource for you. For those who are
new to the subject, it addresses the basics by providing an overview
of copyright law and fair use. For more experienced users, it offers
information on increasingly complex compliance issues such as the
use and distribution of copyrighted material in the online
environment. To help you get directly to the information that
matters most to you, use the
