Communicating Copyright Material via UNEonline

Some third party copyright material (material that is not owned by the University), such as images, readings, text and music can be used in UNEonline units, such as those in Moodle, under the conditions outlined below.

General considerations:

• Access to the site must be restricted to UNE staff and students
• Readings such as book chapters and journal articles must be accessed only as a link from eReserve.
• With the exception of confidential material, there is no need to seek permission to use material in which UNE owns copyright, but as a courtesy you should notify the creator of the work and acknowledge them
• If you have included material with permission from the copyright owner of a work, keep a copy of the permission on file and make sure you comply with any conditions stipulated. It is also advisable to note 'Used with Permission' with the citation, to save further investigation. When seeking permission, make it clear that the material will be included in a website for educational purposes and that access to the site is restricted to authenticated staff and students of the University.
• If material is out of copyright, you can use as much as you want. Be careful though that what you want to use is actually out of copyright. For example, although Shakespeare’s original work is out of copyright, there may still be copyright in the edition you want to use, because of editors' or directors' notes, new images, new interpretation of text and the like.
• Material which has not been 'made available to the public', such as unpublished material, student work, material obtained in confidence or under the terms of a contract of employment, requires the written permission of the copyright owner to reproduce it and use it within your online unit. 
• All material should be fully referenced. Unsourced material should not be used.

Readings, text and literary works:

• Readings and book chapters reproduced reliant on the Part VB Licence must not be included within the UNEonline unit. These need to be processed via eReserve and linked to from within your UNEonline unit.
• 'Insubstantial portions' of a work, for example a short extract or quote, may be included in an online unit with a full citation.
• Articles from Library e-resources such as Proquest, Informit or Expanded Academic ASAP as well as online journal subscriptions, must be provided as a direct link, and not reproduced within an online unit. See the guidelines for creating durable links or Ask a Librarian.

Images:

• Images includes photographs, diagrams, cartoons and other artworks.
• Images prepared by employees of UNE should be marked to indicate this to save confusion and the need for further investigation. For example ©University of New England 2007 or Photograph taken by A. Lecturer.
• Images copied reliant on the Part VB Licence must be for valid educational purposes only and need to comply with the copying limits of the Licence.  While some checking of availability may be required if the images are from print sources it is worth noting that the Licence permits you to use images that are freely available on the internet.  As with other third party copyright material, the images must be properly referenced. A Part VB warning notice needs to appear with each image, or with each set of images (for example at the start of a powerpoint session).
• Images sourced from online images sources such as Flickr or Google Images may be used for educational purposes under the terms of the Part VB Licence.  Alternatively some images from these sources may be online under the terms of Creative Commons Licences which permit particular uses without the need to rely on the Part VB Licence or seeking permission.  You need to ensure the particular Creative Commons Licence is suitable for what you want to do, and that you comply with any terms.
• If you want to use images purely for decorative purposes, one of the following needs to apply: (i) you own copyright (ii) you have on file permission to use it (iii) copyright has expired (iv) the Creative Commons licence permits this use.
• Where copyright owners’ permission is relied upon, marking the item appropriately can save further investigation - for example: Photograph by A. Friend used with permission, or © A. Friend 2007. Supporting documentation should be kept on file preferably in TRIM.
• Some websites contain images and clip that are royalty free or are free for educational purposes and these may be useful.  As with copyright owners's permission, you should keep a record of the sites you rely on and the terms and conditions.

Music:

It is permissible to communicate musical works and sound recordings to UNE students via a password-protected intranet or online teaching system such as UNEonline, under a music licence agreement negotiated with the music collecting societies. Licence conditions apply. See Tertiary Music Licence. 

Audio-visual works:

Material from radio or television broadcasts as well as some podcasts may be included in UNEonline under the conditions of the Part VA Licence.
