Basics | Rights of Owners | Works Not Protected | Time Limits | Foreign Works | Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Basics

Copyright protects the rights of the creators of original works, whether published or unpublished, including literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, and other intellectual works. This right was first established by the Constitution, " to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive Right to their respective Writings and Discoveries." (Article 1, Section 8, U.S. Constitution) Although Congress established no particular time limits, several copyright acts since have. Copyright may belong to a single person, multiple persons, or a corporation (works made for hire). Since 1989 the copyright symbol, ©, is no longer necessary, although it affects the remedies a copyright holder may seek for infringement.

Liability for copyright infringement belongs to the person who actually commits the infringement or, in some cases, to the person/corporation who directs the copying.

Rights of Owners

Section 106 of the Copyright Act of October 19, 1976 (Title 17 United States Code) grants certain rights to copyright owners that affect educators who want to reproduce or use materials in their teaching.

§ 106. Exclusive rights in copyrighted works
Subject to sections 107 through 120, the owner of copyright under this title has the exclusive rights to do and to authorize any of the following:

1. to reproduce the copyrighted work in copies or phonorecords;
2. to prepare derivative works based upon the copyrighted work;
3. to distribute copies or phonorecords of the copyrighted work to the public by sale or other transfer of ownership, or by rental, lease, or lending;
4. in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and motion pictures and other audiovisual works, to perform the copyrighted work publicly; and
5. in the case of literary, musical, dramatic, and choreographic works, pantomimes, and pictorial, graphic, or sculptural works, including the individual images of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, to display the copyrighted work publicly.

Fortunately, Congress also provided exemptions (§ 107-120) under which educators can make legal use of copyrighted materials. These situations are commonly known as "Fair Use."

Works Not Protected

There are certain types of works that do not qualify for copyright protection. These include:

• Works that have not been placed in a fixed format. For example, improvisations or musical performances that have not been notated or recorded.
• Title, names, short phrases, or slogans; variations of lettering or coloring; listings of ingredients or contents.
• Ideas, procedures, methods, systems, processes, discoveries, or devices, as distinguished from description, explanation, or illustration.
• Works consisting entirely of information that is common knowledge. For example, standard calendars, height and weight charts, or lists or tables taken from public documents or other common sources.
• Works published by the U. S. Government. Keep in mind that works sponsored, but not published by the Federal Government may have copyright protection. Works published by state governments may or may not be protected; the law varies from state to state.

Time Limits

Copyright protection exists from the time the work is created in fixed form, but the limits vary according to when the work was first published, Lolly Gasaway has produced an excellent chart that demonstrates when works enter the public domain. The chart has been updated to include the extensions made by the Term Extension Act, PL 105-298 (Sonny Bono Act).

Works created before January 1, 1978

• Copyright began either on the date the work was published with a copyright notice © or on the date it was registered.
• First term of copyright lasted 28 years.
• If it was renewed during the 28th year, the renewal term is 67 years.
• All works copyrighted between January 1, 1964 and December 31, 1977 were automatically renewed.

Works created on or after January 1, 1978

• Works of single authorship -- life of author, plus 70 years.
• Joint works -- 70 years after the last surviving author's death.
• Works made for hire, anonymous and pseudonymous works -- 95 years from publication or 120 years from creation, whichever is shorter.
• In general, for works after 1978, assume it is protected even if the © does not appear.

Special Rules for Unpublished Works

• Created after January 1, 1978, standard rule applies.
• Created before January 1, 1978, but never published.
• Protected until December 31, 2002 or
• Life of the author plus 70 years.

Foreign Works

The North American Free Trade Agreement Act (NAFTA), P.L.103-182, restored copyright to films that were in the public domain due to copyright compliance problems.

The General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), P.L. 103-465, restored copyright to foreign works that had fallen into the public domain in the United States because of copyright registration problems, but were still protected by copyright in the original country.

If a work from a World Trade Organization (WTO) country is less than 75 years old and is still protected in the original country, copyright was automatically restored when GATT took effect in the United States.

Authors and creators must also remember that the United States is a signator of the Berne Convention so that if you, for example, plan to publish a book in a foreign country of works that are public domain in the United States, but those works would not be public domain in the country of publication, you would be infringing on foreign copyright laws. Remember too that laws vary from nation to nation.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) was signed by President Clinton on October 28, 1998. In addition to implementing two World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) treaties, it also addresses several important issues relating to education: in particular, Title II, the "Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation" and Title IV, which contains provisions relating to distance education and exceptions in the Copyright Act for libraries.

Summarized here are the implications of the Act for educational institutions. For more complete information refer to the DMCA itself, or Appendix V. (Additional Provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act) of Title 17.

Title II establishes limits on copyright infringement liability for online service providers. Its broad definition of "online service providers" includes colleges and universities. It also details "notice and takedown" procedures for material on Web sites that reside on servers maintained by colleges and universities, as well as on servers of other online service providers. The College of DuPage has provided the public with the mechanisms to contest material posted on COD servers. The information is located in the Legal section of the College's website. This Part of the Act was incorporated into Title 17 U. S. Code as:

§ 112 - Limitations on liability relating to material online (e) LIMITATION ON LIABILITY OF NONPROFIT EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. - (1) When a public or other nonprofit institution of higher education is a service provider, and when a faculty member or graduate student who is an employee of such institution is performing a teaching or research function, for the purposes of subsections (a) and (b) such faculty member or graduate student shall be considered to be a person other than the institution, and for purposes of subsection's (c) and (d) such faculty member's or graduate student's knowledge or awareness of his or her infringing activities shall not be attributed to the institution, if --

(A) such faculty member's or graduate student's infringing activities do not involve the provision of online access to instructional materials that are or were required or recommended, within the preceding 3-year period, for a course taught at the institution by such faculty member or graduate student;
(B) the institution has not, within the preceding 3-year period, received more than two notifications described in subsection (c) (3) of claimed infringement by such faculty member or graduate student , and such notifications of claimed infringement were not actionable under subsection (f); and
(C) the institution provides to all users of its system or network informational materials that accurately describe, and promote compliance with the laws of the United States relating to copyright.

Title IV makes provisions for a study on copyright and distance education. It directs the Copyright Office to consult with the effected parties and make recommendations to Congress. Although the Report on Distance Education has been completed, amendments adding the issues are still being considered, refer to New Developments for updates. Title IV also amends the exemption for libraries and archives to accommodate digital technologies in the preservation of materials. It increases the number of archival copies from one to three, providing those copies are only made available on library premises. It also allows libraries to archive a work in a new format providing the original format is obsolete (i. e. the machine used to access the copy is no longer in production or no longer available in the commercial marketplace).

Remember, these same rights which we, as educators, may find constricting in teaching, protect the intellectual property that we produce.

The information on this site is intended to inform the faculty, staff and
students at the College of DuPage about copyright and to provide guidelines
for using and creating copyrighted material. The information should not
be considered legal advice.

What is research? How do you get started?

Research isn't a step-by-step checklist, but a map that has you retrace your steps from time to time.

1. Develop a Research Plan: Understand your assignment and think about the steps you need to take to complete it
2. Do Background Research: What are the possibilities for your topic? How can you begin to organize your thoughts? How “big” is your topic?
3. Planning: Set a Search Strategy: Think about where you will look for information, what terms you’ll use, what resources will be most helpful. Save time by planning ahead.
4. Find Sources: Look in the right places for the best possible sources to support your research.
5. Evaluate Sources: Select the most appropriate and best quality sources for your research
6. Put it Together: Incorporate your research into your own work and avoid plagiarizing by citing your sources.

Helpful Resources for Every Stage

Your instructor: use your instructor's office hours; check-in at different stages of your research; ask questions
The Library: visit the Reference Desk; make an appointment with a Librarian; call, email or IM the Library

The following presentation will introduce you to the Research Process and provide you with the resources (people, places, websites) that can help you throughout every step of the way.
Click the gear icon at the bottom of the presentation to see the Notes.

Rising costs, increases in publishing output, and increasing demand for information in a wide variety of formats require careful materials selection based on an understanding of the mission of the Library and the College. The collection must be systematically shaped and developed in order to make the best use of our financial resources.

This policy is intended to present collection development and information access
program guidelines to meet the following objectives:

To assist librarians in selecting current, diverse, balanced collections of
materials to support the instructional and institutional needs of
students, faculty and staff in support of the stated purpose of the collection

To provide a basis for the consideration and incorporation of faculty suggestions as part of collection development and management

To serve both traditional and distance education students and faculty by supplying
integrated access to collections of materials in all appropriate formats in the
most cost-effective manner

To assist with short-range and long-range fiscal planning

Collection Development Responsibility

Role of the Reference Librarians

Collection development, including materials selection and deselection, is the responsibility of each full-time faculty librarian serving as Library liaison to specific departments or disciplines at the College of DuPage.

This includes responsibility for:

• Long and short range planning for developing the collection.
• Evaluation of collections and needs.
• Regular communication with the Library’s Technical Services staff.
• Active liaison with their faculty and administrators.
• Judicious and timely expenditure of their materials budget within the budget set by the Library administration.

Role of the Dean and Associate Dean

The Dean and Associate Dean are responsible for overseeing the overall growth and development of the collection, the allocation of the materials budget, and the expenditure of funds under the policies, procedures and guidelines developed by the library faculty in conjunction with the administration. The Dean and Associate Dean are responsible for final approval of the collection development policies and expenditures.

Role of the Technical Services Librarian

The Technical Services Librarian monitors the collection development budget including book, continuation, audiovisual, periodical, and electronic resources funds, maintains vendor relations, and regularly updates librarians on budget activities and status.

Criteria for Selection of Materials

Librarians select print and non-print materials using a number of selection tools. These include:

• Professional journals.
• Popular reviewing sources.
• Vendors’ notifications
• Standard bibliographies.
• Publishers’ and producers’ catalogs.
• Requests submitted by the community of Library users.
  Particular attention is paid to faculty requests for materials to support the development and delivery of the College’s instructional programs.

The Library also accepts gift materials (see donation policy for details)

When selecting materials, an overriding consideration is appropriateness for community college use. Most materials should be written or produced on a level that the average community college student can use or benefit from, or at a level that students in a particular field are expected to attain.

Other considerations may be:

• Reputation of the author, issuing body, and/or publisher
• Presentation: style, clarity, reading level
• Aesthetic considerations: literary, artistic, or social value; appeal to the imagination, senses, or intellect
• Special features: detailed, logical, accurate index; bibliography; footnotes; pictorial representations
• Physical and technical quality of paper, typography, and design; physical size; binding; durability; when there is an option of paper, hard copy, or electronic format, the selector may choose the format based on expected use, lasting value of content, cost differential, and quality of binding.
• Depth of current holdings in the same or similar subject
• Demand as determined by circulation or frequency of interlibrary loan requests for material on the same or similar subject
• Cost of material relative to the budget and other available material
• Accessibility in online formats
• Ease of access or user-friendliness
• Usage expectation
• Need for information in format type other than print

Considerations for Specific Types and Formats of Materials Collected

Books/Monographs/ E-books

Books/monographs are collected in hardbound, paperback or audio editions based on the librarian’s judgment as to which format is suitable. The Library supports the research needs of faculty pursuing advanced degrees primarily through the use of interlibrary loan for items not in our collection.

Ebooks will be considered when they provide the most current and/or cost-effective format or when they provide collections in support of distance education courses and programs.

Reference materials including periodical indexes and electronic reference

Reference works are judged for inclusion in the Reference collection on the basis of the recommendation of the subject librarians (taking into consideration any faculty input), timeliness, cost, suitability of item for the community college library (i.e. level of item written for community college or undergraduate college student), ability to fill a need in the existing reference collection, plus review source recommendations and inclusion in end-of-year “Best Reference Title” lists.

Databases

The Library licenses access to electronic resources including article and digital image collections. Selection decisions are made on the basis of content, utility, ease-of-use, potential for off-campus access, subject specialist recommendations, evaluations from trials, collection overlap, affordability, and usage. Databases that are offered by consortial arrangement may be preferred when they offer the best pricing structure. The Collection Development Committee monitors the budget for databases and makes recommendations to the faculty librarians as a group for purchase and deletion based on the listed selection criteria..

Popular Fiction and Nonfiction

Selection criteria include appeal to the college community and media coverage of the author or title. Particular attention is paid to best-selling and award-winning fiction and non-fiction.

Textbooks

The Library selectively collects textbook materials. In some instances, the selecting librarian may decide to purchase textbook material to assure adequate coverage of a discipline. Textbook material may also become available through gift donations and will be evaluated according to gift procedures.

Periodicals including Magazines, Journals, Newspapers, E-journals

Subject librarians make recommendations to the Collection Development Committee for the purchase of periodical titles to be added to and maintained for the Library’s collection. Magazines, journals, newspapers, and e-journals are added based on such considerations as faculty recommendation, support for the curriculum of the College, student interests, cost, indexing in electronic or print form, and the presence of alternative access full-text/full-image versions in the library’s electronic databases.

When back issues of periodicals are to be retained indefinitely, they may be maintained in either microform, bound, or electronic form based on the recommendation of the respective subject librarian.

Government Documents

Government publications in all formats may be added to the collection either through purchase or as gifts. Individual subject librarians will decide on the selection, location and retention of such materials based on the item’s content and use in support of research and instruction at the College. The Library does not maintain a separate collection of government documents.
Patrons needing government documents not owned by the Library will be referred to Interlibrary Loan or local depository libraries.

Maps/Atlases

Librarians will decide on the selection, location, and retention of maps or atlases based on the item’s content and how it will support research and instruction at the College.

Audiovisual materials, e.g. videos, DVDs, music CDs, models, maps, video/audio streaming services

Non-print materials (e.g., VHS and DVD videos, compact discs, models, streaming media services) are evaluated on the same basis as are books according to the “Criteria for Selection of Materials” with special emphasis on the suitability of the format to the content, the quality of the production, and the Library’s ability to provide the equipment, access and support that is required in order to use the material.

Popular videos

The Library’s collection of popular video titles is limited in size due to space and technological considerations plus budget priorities. Selection criteria include enduring value, artistic or cultural merit, quality of technical production and number of awards won. Our focus is on academic rather than recreational use, although these two may overlap.

Computer software

The Library does not collect software application packages such as CADD/CAM, Adobe Illustrator, etc. to support coursework at the college. Software is available in College computer labs.

Internet Resources

The Library selects and provides access to Internet resources based on the resource’s content and how it will support research and instruction at the college. Evaluative considerations such as authority, purpose, currency, accuracy, presentation, and stability will also be used to determine the inclusion of Internet resources in the Library’s catalog.

Curricular Materials

Curricular materials required for teaching specific course sections, such as main textbooks, lab manuals, teachers’ manuals, lesson-based video sets, etc., will typically be purchased by the respective department or Division.

Class instructors are urged to consult their subject/liaison librarian regarding curricular as well as supplemental educational resources that support course learning outcomes. These materials, whether books, online videos, DVDs, etc., may already be available in the Library or the librarians can help to identify an alternative or open access resource. The librarian can also consider whether the requested material is of potential interest beyond that course. If that is the case, the librarian can choose to purchase the item(s) for the Library’s collection (regardless of format).

If materials of any format are already in the Library’s collections, they can be placed on reserve at the COD Library, or, in the case of online resources, directly linked from a course shell. On occasion, a copy of a course textbook is purchased for the Library collection at the discretion of the subject librarian; in other cases, the Library receives donations of textbooks. In either case, textbooks for current courses are typically placed on reserve for one or more course sections until superceded by a later edition. In this way, they can be used by the largest number of students taking that course.

For online course materials requiring licenses for students in particular courses, a faculty member should seek funding from his/her own department or Division, and work with Learning Technologies staff on the licensing structure, purchase, and integration into the course shell/LMS.

Special Collections

Archives

The College of DuPage Archives, housed in the Library, organizes and maintains a collection of historical and official records of the College. Items such as minutes of the Board of Trustees, legal documents relating to the organization of the College, College catalogs and class schedules, newspaper clippings, news releases, books and articles written by faculty and staff, minutes and records of campus-wide committees, and College-produced brochures, photographs, slides, and video recordings will be collected for and preserved in the Archives. The Archivist reserves the right to discard duplicate material and to decline to add items not closely related to the history of the College. The Archives does not collect student, personnel or departmental records, syllabi, and financial records unless they have historical interest or value.

Juvenile

The juvenile collection supports academic coursework at the College of DuPage. Every effort is made to include titles that have won literary awards such as Newbery, Caldecott, and Coretta Scott King Awards. This collection contains materials from Pre-K through Grade 8.

Career & College Information (CCIC)

The Career & College Information collection (CCIC) contains print and non-print materials relating to careers, colleges and universities, scholarships, the job search, professional school examinations, career certification tests and related topics. Duplicates will be purchased for heavily used items.

Philanthropy

Materials are added to the Philanthropy collection on the basis of suitability for local nonprofit users, the recommendation of major review sources (utilizing primarily the Chronicle of Philanthropy with additional sources), the recommendation of Forefront librarians and the recommendation of individual nonprofit staff and/or local philanthropic groups.

Paperbacks

The purpose of this circulating collection is to support the recreational information needs of the College community. This collection will consist primarily of award-winning material and/or items that are in high demand by users. Requests for specific titles and for multiple copies are considered on an individual basis. Titles remain in these collections until either their popularity diminishes or their physical condition deteriorates beyond repair.

Graphic Novels

Selection criteria include enduring value, artistic or cultural merit, quality of technical production and number of awards won. The selection supports the needs of students and faculty rather than those of the recreational reader, although these two may overlap.

Popular Audiobooks

The purpose of this circulating collection is to support the recreational information needs of faculty, staff, students and community card holders. The audiobook collection will consist primarily of award-winning material and/or items that are in high demand by users.

Donations (Gift titles)

The Library reserves the right to accept or discard gift materials as it deems fit, with no restrictions being imposed by the donor.

• Special collections are not established for donated materials.
• In exceptional cases, arrangements may be made to pick up donations.
• Donated materials will be given book plates if requested.
• Value appraisals are not written for the donor by the Library. Such appraisals should be arranged for by the donor before the items are donated to the Library.
• A letter acknowledging the acceptance of the gift will be sent to the donor by the Dean.

Librarians will base their add/discard decisions using the same criteria as for purchased materials. Additional considerations include:

1. The physical condition, currency and anticipated use of the material are the primary criteria.
2. Textbooks and paperback books are added if they meet the criteria for purchased materials.
3. Duplicates are only added if proven or anticipated use indicates that this is desirable.

Deselection (Weeding)

The weeding of materials from the Library's collection is a normal and necessary function of responsible librarianship. Items may be discarded due to poor physical condition, outdated information, lack of shelf space, and lack of use (as demonstrated by the item's circulation history). Considerations for weeding Internet resources include: 1) resources that are no longer accessible; 2) resources that are no longer current or reliable; 3) replacement by another resource that offers better access or more comprehensive coverage. It is the responsibility of the individual Librarian to examine the materials in his/her subject area(s) and decide what should be discarded, using professional judgment.

Repair and Binding

The Library performs:

1. Minor in-house repair of damaged materials;
2. Repackaging of nonprint materials for secure circulation
3. Reinforcement of paperback books and covers on dust jackets.

Periodical binding decisions are made by the respective subject librarian. The decision to purchase microfilm in lieu of binding is made by the subject librarian based on cost and availability of funds, frequency of publication, history of holdings, space constraints and problems with theft/mutilation of issues.

Replacement of Materials

The Technical Services Department notifies an individual librarian when an item in his/her subject area is damaged or missing. The Librarian will decide whether or not to order a replacement copy. Some factors to be considered are the item’s past circulation history, information content, cost and expected use in the future.

Intellectual Freedom

The Librarians have the responsibility to develop a collection in their subject areas that supports the teaching, research needs, and cultural interests of a diverse constituency. This may involve selecting materials that some individuals or groups may find incorrect or offensive. As an institution of higher education, which encourages the contemplation of many different issues, the Library collection should have materials that express a variety of views and opinions on various topics. This Library supports the "Library Bill of Rights" and intellectual freedom as stated by the American Library Association.

• Library Bill of Rights
• Freedom to Read statement
• Freedom to View statement

Cooperative Collection Development

Cooperative collection development means collaborating with other libraries, government agencies or outside organizations, to obtain resources for the Library. Cooperative collection development may take place directly with neighboring libraries or through other means and agencies.
