Library Help

Best Practices for sharing copyrighted materials on Brightspace:

• Use legally acquired or purchased copies of materials and always include copyright notices and remind students that copyrighted works should not be copied and redistributed to others.
• Generally, restrict the Brightspace access to those students enrolled.
• Block access to materials after the course has ended.
• When possible, it is preferable to link to electronic material that is already licensed by the library rather than make digital copies.
• Like print materials and other physical materials, digital materials are covered by copyright law, and Fair Use also applies in the Brightspace.
