The copying and distribution of any material in the physical or digital classroom must meet certain conditions:
Fair Dealing permits the scanning and posting of a single copy of a short excerpt from a copyright-protected work in an eLearn course. All points in the guidelines must be met. Multiple chapters from different works cannot be assembled to replace a normal textbook purchase.
Some licences permit inclusion of material in secured course management systems such as eLearn. Check the Permitted Uses listed under each database in the Databases A-Z List for details. If unclear, please contact the Library's Copyright Team for support.
Best practice is to link to material when possible. This includes to material available on the Internet and to material in licensed resources.
To learn how to create a persistent link to licensed material, see Link to the Library. For more assistance, contact your liaison librarian.
