Aarhus University has entered into agreements regarding the use of texts, images, and audiovisual content  with Tekst & Node, VISDA, and Copydan AVU-medier respectively (formerly known as the Copydan agreements)..

Tekst & Node

Aarhus University's agreement with Tekst & Node - including the additional agreement regarding newspaper articles (in Danish) - allows you to copy, print and scan text material for teaching purposes. The agreement applies to both Danish and foreign publications, whether they are published in printed or electronic form (but see exceptions below).

• According to the agreement you are permitted to copy, print or scan up to 20% of a publication with, however, a maximum limit of 50 pages per student per semester. Read more about copying, printing and scanning.
• Digital copies can only be placed on a password-protected network, such as Brightspace. There is no time limit on how long the files can remain on Brightspace, so you are not obligated to remove the files at end of the semester. After completing their education, it will not be possible for the students to access the files. Their access to Brightspace closes when they finish their education.

Exceptions: the following publications are not covered by the agreement with Tekst & Node.

• E-journals and e-books purchased via AU Library's licensing agreements. Read more about which rules apply to the use of these materials.

Submissions to Tekst & Node

The library is not involved in the submission of information about the copied works to Tekst & Node. Instead, please contact your departmental secretariat.

You do not need to submit information about the following materials:

• Compendiums printed by AU Tryk (Printing Service, Aarhus University) - AU Tryk reports these.
• Articles and e-book chapters - their use is determined by the agreements the library has made with the publishers.

VISDA

Aarhus University's agreement with VISDA (formerly known as Copydan Visual) makes it possible to use images (e.g., paintings, drawings, photographs, illustrations, figures, and graphs) in your teaching. The agreement covers both printed standalone pictures, (i.e. pictures that are not used together with a text), and digital images freely available on the Internet. The Agreement has been extended indefinitely. The Agreement gives you the possibility to:

• Copy or print images and use them in handouts or compendia.
• Scan or download images and transfer them to, for example, PowerPoint, smart-boards, Brightspace or similar.

Copydan AVU Medier

Aarhus University's agreement with Copydan AVU-medier on audiovisual content gives you the possibility to make use of radio and television broadcasts, as well as adverts in teaching.

You can either stream broadcasts directly from Mediestream or bring your own recordings to your classes.
