Internet Resources
All Internet material such as text, images, video, music, podcasts and spoken words are protected by copyright, like other forms of published material. The simplest approach to make use of online content for educational purposes is to provide links to students so that they can access it themselves, rather than copying it for them. Linking is preferable to downloading or printing.
However, you should not direct or link students to known or suspected infringing content, which means the material made available online without the consent from the copyright owners. If you are unsure about the legality of the website, seek further advice.
If you must do the copying or downloading for your students, you should first check the terms and conditions of the site and check if there is permission for your suggested use. There is an online Creative Commons Search, which allows you to legally share and use free licenced material for specific purposes.
Material from databases or electronic journals and books that Tabor College subscribes to is protected by licencing agreements in addition to copyright. Lecturers can provide a link for students to access the online resource.
Digital copies must include a copyright warning notice.
