Copyright for teaching

General principles

  • cite all material that you use - reference accurately
  • make material available to students in accordance with licenses, fair dealing or other permissions
  • link to library subscribed resources and other resources rather than copying the material into the learning management system or a local system
  • ensure required notices are displayed, for example for specific statutory license notices
  • Library staff can assist with e-reserves as well as print reserves
  • Library staff can assist with general advice on copyright
  • limit access to registered students.

The Australian National University is committed to compliance with the Copyright Act 1968 and upholding the rights of creators and users of copyright material.

A copyright guide and presentation have been prepared to assist teaching staff to understand the basics of copyright for teaching purposes. A multimedia and copyright presentation is available to assist teaching staff. These are located in the right hand column.

If you need advice in relation to a University copyright matter and your question has not been resolved after reviewing the materials in this guide, you may contact the Library for further assistance.
