Copyright and teaching materials

Parts VA and VB of the Copyright Act allow the University to make third party copyright material available material for educational purposes in return for royalty payments to the copyright owners and provided the limits on reproduction and communication are observed.

Part VA of the Copyright Act allows the University to copy radio and television broadcasts received in Australia and make these available with Screenrights as the declared collecting society.

Part VB covers text and image copying and communication with the Copyright Agency Limited (CAL) as the collecting society.

The Course Online Readings Service (CORS), operated by the Library, is the University's official repository for all digitised text-based copyright materials required for student course work. The University adopted this centralised policy to ensure compliance with the limits on communication set down in the Copyright Act. Third party, text-based copyright materials used in student course work must not be held on faculty servers but must be located on the Library server.
