13 13 Copyright Clearance Center Annual Copyright License Middlebury's Experience

14 14 The impetus… UMUC Center for Intellectual Property online course about E-Reserves (University of Maryland University College, Oct. 2005)  online chat session with a university press publisher  publisher's assertion that digital copying (even a single chapter) without permission exceeds fair use  follow-up conversation with the publisher: CCC was looking at a new model for campus licensing, including digitizing print materials

15 15 Why interested? E-reserve and course web site trends  increasing use of scanned content  repeated use of materials from year to year  multiple chapters/articles from same volume  course pack use declining, but still present Risk mitigation?  Middlebury experience with Napster for legal filesharing  concern about AAP actions

16 16 Initial steps… Preliminary discussions (Nov-Dec 2005) CCC presentation on campus (winter 2006)  library & book store staff, DLIS, provost, faculty, legal counsel Assess key differences from corporate model  academic environment requires wide spectrum of publishers/titles – numbering in 1000s, including humanities, foreign languages  initial publisher list: covered only 20-30% of course packs and E- reserves  academic fair use (§107) re: E-Reserve and course web postings Charter subscriber (summer 2006)  anticipate cost recovery (course packs)  anticipate wider publisher base over time  desire to work with CCC to develop reporting methodology

17 17 First year activities Active communication with CCC  presentations/meetings with Middlebury staff  feedback on web-based search interface Development of survey/reporting tools  course pack permission requests used by CCC  customize Middlebury's learning management system (Segue) prompts for bibliographic data when uploading files (reportable) extract PDF file names and content  E-Res: optional bibliographic data input (Docutek)

18 18 First year activities … Course pack fees  continue to include copyright fee in pricing the course pack for sale to students Reserves  actively use new interface, especially for multiple articles or chapters from same work - single chapter/article & first time use considered fair use  refer faculty E-Res course administrators to new interface Article distribution  use new license for coverage of scanned material distributed to all faculty (e.g., for a faculty retreat)

19 19 Preliminary assessment Benefits  Cost recovery (course pack fees)  Coverage of multiple chapters/articles  Coverage of titles re-used multiple semesters Challenges  Limited publisher/title coverage  Workflow: failure to check license  Added resource perceived as complicating the copyright environment fair use: faculty education what does "not covered for use" mean? what's next step? content otherwise licensed (e-journals, e-books)

20 20 Ongoing assessment Is the Academic License the right fit?  title/publisher coverage  cost / value  fair use considerations  does a new model help shift our role, no longer viewed as… "copyright pirates" by publishers "copyright police" by faculty  will the Academic License lead to better, more efficient assessment of what comprises legal copies of copyrighted works? will its use satisfy publishers and our constituents alike?
