Do you have an exception/defence under the CDPA 1988 to use it? • University staff must consider the implications of what materials they place online Resources and Copyright • Photocopying and scanning (CLA Licence) • Newspapers (paper (NLA Licence) and online) • Images, diagrams, tables, illustrations Free educational use sites – VADS, SCRAN, Education Image Gallery, Wikipedia • Recordings - TV and radio (ERA Licence)/Planet eStream Moving Image Gateway • Films – http://movieclips.com/about/team/ • Audio and sound effects libraries ‘Audio Network Library’ available on FindIt, Free Music & Sound • Free photo collections: SXC, morgueFile , EveryStockPhoto • Online material (P2P and Web 2.0 (e.g. CampusPack in Bb), linking - Creative Commons-YouTube, Flickr, iTunesU Ownership • S.11 CDPA 1988 states that the first owner of copyright in a work is usually the author of that work. However, if created by an employee in the course of his/her employment, then the employer is the owner (S.11(2)). • Check the T&C’s of your Contract of Employment to ascertain the exact position, but generally presume that all materials are owned by the University. • The University will therefore normally be considered to be the publisher of material produced by staff in their normal day to day activities. Research and Publication • Externally funded contract terms may supersede your Contract of Employment T&C’s. • Publishing agreements – copyright is usually assigned to the publisher, but this can be open to negotiation.
