Are there copyright issues associated with placing materials on Electronic Reserve and Blackboard?
Yes. Here are some basic guidelines. One time use of such material does not require copyright permission, but it is necessary to include a complete citation. In addition, no more than two chapters (or one-fourth of total pagination, whichever is smaller) of a book or two articles of a journal issue placed on E-Reserve or Blackboard. Use of copyrighted material requires permission from the copyright holder for all semesters after the first. The Reserve department staff will apply for such permission as needed, and your department will be billed for the copyright fees.
