Essential Copyright for Staff: What can I use for my teaching? Needs a little blurb about what this is for. START

Copyright for teaching Copyright law has certain exceptions that allow copyrighted works to be used for educational purposes. In addition to these, we have licensing schemes which allow members of the University to legally share material for teaching and learning, in ways that would not otherwise be permitted. Copyright is a grey area, with levels of interpretation and risk. This guide aims to help you understand what you can use for your teaching. This online tool will help you determine whether you can use specific types of material in your teaching and what you are allowed to do with them, without breaching copyright. What is copyright? Fair dealing Need further help? The Intellectual Property Office provides comprehensive advice on copyright. See in particular: IPO. (2014). Guidance: Exceptions to Copyright. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/exceptions-to-copyright Exemptions for teaching Licensing schemes Key points

What is copyright? Copyright protects your work and stops others from using it without your permission. It covers: original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic work, including illustration and photography, original non-literary written work, such as software, web content and databases, sound and music recordings, film and television recordings, broadcasts, the layout of published editions of written, dramatic and musical works. To be subject to copyright, a work must be: original in a recorded or fixed format. Copyright is automatic – you don’t need to apply for it, or put a © on your work. back next

Fair Dealing As well as owning copyright works yourself, you may wish to make use of someone else’s copyright protected works. There are certain very specific situations where you may be permitted to do so without seeking permission from the owner, providing the work is sufficiently acknowledged. These exceptions only apply if the use of the work is a “fair dealing”, for example: does using the work affect the market for the original work? If use of a work acts as a substitute for it, causing the owner to lose revenue, then it is not likely to be fair. is the amount of the work taken reasonable and appropriate? Was it necessary to use the amount that was taken? Usually only part of a work may be used. back next

Exemptions for teaching We are fortunate that, as a HEI, there are a number of things we are allowed to do. There are several exceptions allow copyright works to be used for educational purposes, such as: The copying of works in any medium as long as the use is solely to illustrate a point, it is not done for commercial purposes, it is accompanied by a sufficient acknowledgement, and the use is fair dealing. Performing, playing or showing copyright works in a school, university or other educational establishment for educational purposes. Recording a TV programme or radio broadcast for non-commercial educational purposes in an educational establishment, provided there is no licensing scheme in place. back Intellectual Property Office.

Licensing Schemes As well as the exemptions for teaching and research allowed by copyright law, the University of Salford takes advantage of licensing schemes which allow members of the University to legally share material for teaching and learning, in ways that would not otherwise be permitted. We pay annual fees to be part of each scheme. Click the logos for more information. The CLA HE licence allows staff at the University to copy extracts from printed and digital publications, and to make them available to students. The NLA Education Establishment Licence, allows staff and students to make and share copies from UK national newspapers. The ERA licence allows any member of the University to record broadcasts for “non-commercial educational purposes”.  next

Key Points Illustration for instruction The copying of works for educational purposes is allowed as long as it is solely to illustrate a point. Only use what you need Minor uses, such as displaying an image in a lecture or giving your students a short written extract as a handout, are permitted, but uses which would undermine sales of the original materials are not. Acknowledge your sources You must sufficiently acknowledge (i.e. reference) any material you use. back next

Key Points Levels of risk How you share material with your students matters. For example, showing an excerpt from a TV programme in a class or putting a book chapter on Blackboard (i.e. a closed system) are generally allowed and are low risk. Sharing the same material on social media (making it openly available to anyone) is not usually permitted and is high risk. Get the Library to digitise material for you We hold licences which allow us to makes copies of journal articles, book chapters, images, etc. for you to share with your students – but this must be done by the Library (see the Digitisation page for more information). back next

Can I use this? This resource aims to help you determine whether you can use specific types of material in your teaching and what you are allowed to do with them, without breaching copyright. It covers the most common types of copyrighted material: text, images and video/broadcasts. There are, of course, many other types of copyrighted material that you may wish to use in your teaching or share with your students - and there are many grey areas in copyright law.

CLA Higher Education Licence As well as allowing staff and student copying (see How much can I copy? ) this licence also allows staff at the University to copy extracts from printed and digital publications, and to make them available to students. To do this however, the University must be able to report exactly what has been copied, under the terms of the licence, to the Copyright Licencing Agency (CLA) which administers the scheme. It is therefore very important that all staff follow the University’s process when making copyright material available to students. (See the Digitisation section.) One of the benefits of this is that the Library will do the CLA checks for you – so you don't need to worry! If there any problems about length, permission, etc. we will get in touch with you. For more information see the guide to the Higher Education Licence on the CLA website - User Guidelines: Higher Education Licence. back next

NLA Licence (Newspaper Licensing Agency licence) NLA Education Establishment Licence, allows staff and students to make and share copies from UK national newspapers (and some regional titles as well). It works in a similar way to the CLA Higher Education Licence, but it is not identical. For example, the University does not need to “own” the copy of the newspaper from which the extract is taken, and the copying limits are more generous. There are more details in the User Guide. ADD LINKS back

ERA Licence Our ERA licence allows any member of the University to record broadcasts for “non- commercial educational purposes”.  It covers all free-to-air channels, plus paid channels unless they have specifically excluded this in their licence, and includes recordings from on-demand and catch-up services. Programmes don’t have to be recorded on University premises. ADD LINKS next

Box of Broadcasts In fact we don’t often record programmes ourselves. We subscribe to Box of Broadcasts (BoB), a service which allows any member of the University to request a recording for any programme due to be broadcast in the following 10 days. The programme can then be viewed via BoB. It also gives access to an enormous database of programmes already broadcast. If a previously broadcast programme isn’t already available, you can request it via the Library using Box of Broadcast’s TRILT service. You are able to embed recordings in Blackboard and use them in your presentations, but they will only be able to viewed by registered members of the University, and they will only be able to be viewed in the UK.

What is digitisation? How can I ask for something to be digitised? Digitisation is a process that allows the Library to produce copyright-cleared electronic versions of key book chapters and journal articles. Most book chapters or journal articles can be requested and digitised. However, the Library must comply with the Copyright Licensing Agency (CLA) and so all requested items must meet the following regulations: Only one journal article from a single journal part or issue. Only one book chapter or 10% of the whole item - whichever is greater. The material, or a copyright-fee paid copy of the material, must be owned by the University. The Library will do the CLA checks for you – so you don't need to worry! If there any problems about length, permission, etc. we will let you know How can I ask for something to be digitised? Use Library Search to check that the item is not already available electronically. If we do not have an electronic version then you can continue to make a digitisation request. next

Digitising items for a Reading List Usually the item is part of a reading list for a module. In this case you can request for items to be digitised via the reading list system. When items have been digitised they will become available on the Blackboard module site and a link will appear in the reading list. Digitising items not for a Reading List If you wish to provide access to material for students on a module away from their formal reading list then you can complete an online form. This will send your request through to the Library who will process your request and add the digitised item to your relevant Blackboard module. Please ensure you give the correct Module and Blackboard Code details on the form to ensure your content appears in the correct location for students to view. back

Using Images for Teaching Copyright exceptions allow you to use copyrighted images in PowerPoint slides, lecture notes, etc. providing they are there specifically to illustrate an educational point (i.e. not simply as decoration) and are within the definition of Fair Dealing. You may also make these materials available to your students through a closed platform such as Blackboard. Generally, you would not be able to make these images publicly available, for example, through an open website. In this case, try looking for images that are licenced for reuse – see the next pages for some ideas. next

Finding Images with Google If you want to use Google, here’s how to search for pictures the legal way: Go to Google Images and type in your search term. Click “Tools”, Click “Usage rights”, Select “Labeled for reuse”. All the pictures that display are fine for you to use. next

Finding Images with Microsoft Another option is to use the inbuilt creative commons image search within Microsoft Word and PowerPoint (in versions 2013 and 2016). From within your document, go to the “Insert” menu on the ribbon and select “Online Pictures”. This will take you to a Bing search engine which will return Creative Commons (i.e. safe to use) images for you. next

Other free-to-use images There are many other search engines that are dedicated to finding free-to-use images that are licensed for reuse: Pickabay – https://pixabay.com/ Unsplash – https://unsplash.com/ Morguefile – https://morguefile.com/ Pexels – https://www.pexels.com/ Photopin - http://photopin.com/ Openphoto - https://openphoto.net/search/index.html Please note that you may need to credit the image creator in a caption for many of these free-to- use images.
