What is the best or easiest way to use materials for teaching?
Assigning online materials available through our library is the easiest and safest path through copyright issues. The licenses for e-journals usually include the right for students to repeatedly access these materials online and make personal copies. AND you can repeatedly use the online articles from semester to semester. However, e-journal licenses usually prevent you from making copies of the PDFs or other digital files that contain the articles, from sending those files to students or colleagues, and from placing the files on Blackboard, an Internet site, or in a database. Be aware that if you print a copy of an article from an e-journal and want to give students photocopies of the article, you will need to consider the guidelines governing classroom use.
