Higher Education Committee:
Campus Copyright Education Program
The Campus Copyright Education program creates and distributes educational materials to the campus community in order to encourage copyright compliance. Through this education and dialogue with the reproducers, distributors and users of copyrighted material, the program hopes to inspire an understanding of and respect for the importance of copyright protection. The program also works to clarify the law and facilitate compliance in areas such as the production of course packs, the use of copyrighted materials over networks, and the creation of digitized library holdings for instructional purposes.
In addition to the materials developed for bookstores, copyshops, faculty, administrators and students, the program also conducts seminars on intellectual property issues facing the higher education marketplace.T
