Copying
Following the “fair use” guidelines outlined above, segments
of copyrighted electronic and multimedia materials may by captured,
copied, digitized, transformed to another medium, or manipulated
for educational purposes only, by members of the college community.
-
Acknowledgement
The holder of the copyright to each segment must be clearly and
prominently acknowledged on or next to the digitized material,
even when “fair use” guidelines are observed. (Citing
a source from which a quotation is taken is considered proper
acknowledgment.)
-
Incorporating materials into new works
Segments of material may be incorporated into studies and projects
for instructional and scholarly purposes. Permission must
be sought to use materials in works, other than small excerpts
that are used as quotations, that are circulated beyond the
original educational setting (e.g., a class, faculty seminar,
some recognized group organized for educational purposes)
or that may have commercial application.
-
Building digitized collections.
Collections of digitized images or multimedia segments that are
designed for instructional or study purposes are limited under “fair
use” to items directly related to teaching, learning, or research
at Earlham.
-
Network access to digitized materials
Network access, including World Wide Web access, to Earlham College-created
digitized study collections that include copyrighted material,
is restricted to the Earlham campus network and those authorized
to use the network. Such digitized collections are accessible
temporarily and for instructional purposes only by the group
of Earlham students and faculty for whom the material is
intended. These collections are removed at the end of the
academic term in which they were being used. Prominent notice
must be given that such study materials may not be downloaded,
retained, printed, shared, or modified, except as needed
temporarily for specific academic assignments.
-
Personal and course Web pages
Faculty and students who create Web pages should respect the
rights of copyright holders. Fair use exemptions to copyright
law apply when personal or course Web pages are used exclusively
for educational purposes. This may be done by acknowledging
sources, restricting access through course management software
or some other password-protected mechanism, obtaining permission
or license for use, or some combination of all of these.
