Copyright

  • Information on copyright when you teach

When teaching and using material in lectures, there are a number of rules of which you need to be aware. For example, do you know which rules apply if you wish to show a television broadcast, upload an article to Brightspace or use images in your slides? 

Need help?

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to contact the liaison librarian associated with your field, who will be happy to assist you with your questions.

Alternatively, you are always welcome to contact your local library.  

Material from the Internet

Finding relevant course material online can be quick and easy, while it can be much more difficult to assess whether or not you may share this material with your students.

Copying, printing and scanning

If you would like to hand out copies or prints, make printed compendia or scan material for your students, the rules that apply are dependent on the original material.
