Copyright Guidance Service

29 Jan 2013

The Library’s Copyright Guidance Service supports academic staff, students and researchers with regards to copyright issues affecting their day-to-day work.

The practice of good copyright awareness is becoming ever more important, especially in the creative atmosphere of Higher Education institutions.  Increased use of online resources and developing technologies mean there is more scope for copyright infringements. It is crucial that whilst creativeness is fostered and rewarded we at the same time ensure the protection of your own work and that of others.

Our online copyright guide answers common queries and outlines the practical measures that you can take both to protect your own work and to avoid infringing copyright law. The guide also provides useful web resources highlighting sources of digital media you can use in developing your teaching materials.
