Copyright issues in UTSOnline
If you're using UTSOnline to provide information for students, you need to consider copyright. Copyright restrictions for electronic communication, including UTSOnline and email, differ from those for print communication or communication in class. For example, the 10% limit on copying and communicating material from a book applies across the whole university, not just on a subject by subject basis. So that the university can register and record uses of copyright print and graphic materials, you need to use the library's Digital Resource Register (DRR).
To help staff to comply with copyright, IML, the library and the university's copyright officer have compiled a checklist that you can download and use to audit your own UTSOnline site. The checklist provides advice on what you can upload and use directly and what needs to go to the DRR. The checklist also provides advice on copyright for audio and video materials, including podcasts.
