Delivering Teaching  

Parts VA and VB of the Copyright Act provide for special licences for universities in order for staff to be able to use copyright material for educational purposes only. These licences are also referred to as remuneration agreements, as they require that copyright owners be remunerated for this use.

The University has three such licences:

• For print copying, the University has signed agreements with the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL). The University pays an annual licence fee based on a sampling scheme to CAL. There are agreements to cover both EFTSU and non-EFTSU courses.
• For copying of television and radio, the University has signed an agreement with Screenrights. The University pays an annual licence fee based on a sampling scheme to Screenrights. Copyright requirements must be complied with in both EFTSU and non-EFTSU courses.
• For copying of music and sound, the University has signed an agreement with a number of music societies. The University pays an annual licence fee for copying music for educational purposes. Copyright requirements must be complied with.

(a) Copying Under the CAL Licence

The licence allows copying of print and graphic works for educational purposes within limits. Copying beyond these limits is not authorised. Sheet music may also be copied within the copying limits. Copying includes photocopies, slides and transparencies.

You can make as many copies as you need for educational purposes eg. if there are 40 students in a subject you can make 40 copies.

Copies may not be sold to students with the deliberate intention to make a profit.

Copying Limits

• Books and Other Separately Published Works
  In relation to works of 10 or more pages 10% of the total number of pages in that edition or one chapter of that edition whichever is greater.
• Periodical Publications
  The whole or part of an article contained in any issue of a periodical publication (including newspapers and magazines) may be reproduced. The whole or part of two or more articles contained in any issue of a periodical publication may be copied if those articles relate to the same subject matter eg. two articles about the Wik case from a legal journal.
• Artistic Works
  An artistic work may be copied in whole or part if:
  that artistic work accompanies a literary or dramatic work for the purpose of explaining or illustrating the literary or dramatic work. Either the artistic work alone may be copied, or the artistic work, plus the accompanying text, provided the text has been copied within the limits;
  or
  that artistic work is not separately published If an artistic work has been separately published, no more than a reasonable portion of the work can be copied, unless a new copy of the artistic work cannot be obtained within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price.
• Unavailable Works
  The whole, or part, of a literary, dramatic, musical or artistic work (other than an article in a periodical publication) can be copied if new copies of that work cannot be obtained within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price
• Anthologies
  A work in an anthology may be copied if it does not exceed 15 pages. You can copy any number of such works within an anthology, up to a maximum total of 10% of the total pages of the anthology. A work may also be copied if it has not been separately published. Any number of such works may be copied within an anthology, up to a maximum total of 10% of the total pages.

PowerPoint Presentations

Ensure that you record the details of the source of any third party copyright material in your presentations, even if the amount is insubstantial (i.e. less than 1% of the whole item). This includes extracts of text, images, artistic works, photographs, pictures, tables, charts etc.

Always include a Part VB Copyright Warning Notice at the beginning of your presentation.

Respect the copyright holder’s Moral Rights, and ensure that all sources of copyright material are properly acknowledged.

Marking Requirements

There are no marking requirements for photocopying. However it is good practice to mark the copies with the title of the work, author's name, publisher and date of publication (if known).

Course Packs

Staff members are allowed to make course packs of readings for distribution to students provided the copying of each component is within the limits set by the CAL licence and any charges are based on a legitimate cost-recovery basis. There must be no element of profit when calculating charges to students.

It is preferable, though not compulsory, that such material is sold by Varsity Printing. Staff must prepare a cover for the materials which includes:

• the name of the department
• the subject name and number
• a description of the purpose for which the materials are made (eg. Tutorial Readings, Semester 2, 2000), and
• a statement in relation to copyright in the following form and size should appear on the front cover:
   

THIS COMPILATION OF STUDENT READING MATERIAL HAS BEEN MADE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE PROVISIONS OF PART VB OF THE COPYRIGHT ACT FOR THE TEACHING PURPOSES OF THE UNIVERSITY. FOR USE ONLY BY THE STUDENTS OF BOND UNIVERSITY ENROLLED IN THE SUBJECT:

 There should be an acknowledgments page at the beginning of the readings. References should include:

• name of author
• title
• ISBN (if known)
• publisher (if known)
• number of pages copied, and
• number of copies made
