Copyright Compliance project

Learn has been selected as the UC Copyright Management tool.

Learn was chosen over Equella, Talis Aspire and eReserve.  The in-house functionality and Library staff work carried out for the eLinking project was instrumental in allowing this decision.  Thank you for enabling us to choose a system which allows us to meet Copyright Licensing New Zealand requirements with minimal academic disruption and at a lower cost to UC.

The new copyright licensing agreement with Copyright Licensing New Zealand requires us to automate collecting and reporting on all copying of published materials for teaching.  Reporting functionality is being worked on now by ICTS.  We will likely send reports to CLNZ three times per annum.

As the project continues, academics and students will also experience small differences in Learn, such as more copyright notices and improvement to the upload process.

Learn should now be used for storing all copyright material used in teaching.  Library staff will be contacting Colleges about teaching materials outside Learn and how to ensure copyright compliance.

If you have any queries about the project, I am happy to provide more info.
