Course Content and Copyright Compliance

Submitted by Deborah Johnson

Copyright law allows educators to use supplemental materials to enhance lessons. You can use journal articles, book chapters, and videos to share in the classroom or post in CANVAS.

Basically, copyright (due to the publishers who have challenged “fair use” in the courts) wants us to purchase materials we will use to educate our students, but it is impractical to require students to purchase everything faculty may want them to read. So, as long as students are required to buy a textbook for a course, copyright allows us to provide other materials that may be relevant to the lesson - as long as you don’t continue to use the same item semester after semester, and as long as you don’t use more than 10% of the content. If you want to continue to use an item or use more than 10% of it, then the item should be purchased by the instructor or by the Library.

The library staff is available to help you find the supplemental materials you want to share with your students. If you decide to make the supplemental material a regular part of the lesson, the Library can purchase the item. Call the Library at 419-251-1700 if you have questions.
