- determine if needed permission is covered by an applicable license agreement or statutory user鈥檚 right;
- cover the cost of pay-per-use licensing or acquiring a multi-user ebook license through the Library鈥檚 dedicated course materials licensing fund, when possible;
- on request, format PDF scans of your selected book chapters for posting on Moodle or E-Reserve; and
- provide a stable link that will work on- and off-campus that you can post in Moodle or distribute to students to ensure they can access items in subscribed Library databases without encountering publishers鈥 paywalls.
If you request assistance in assessing whether permissions are needed for course materials you want your students to access, a copyright team member will prepare a permissions summary for all items assessed.
