UCSF Library EReserves

In 2002 the UCSF Library launched a new electronic reserve system called EReserves. EReserves allows you to place print-only materials on the web for use in your online courses.

The Fine Print:

You can place any print-only material online through EReserves as long as an individual course director does not use the same material more than one quarter per year, AND

a UCSF faculty or staff owns the book or has a subscription to the journal that the reading is taken from.

Common Scenarios of Fair Use Issues:
Posting Materials on Course Management Systems

The Common Scenarios of Fair Use Issues encompass examples of the application of fair use when instructors post materials on WebCT, Oncourse, Angel, or other course management system (CMS).

Policy on Ownership of Course Materials

The University's goal in preparing the Policy on Ownership of Course Materials was to clarify existing policy concepts and extend their application to works prepared for teaching and, in particular, to provide useful guidance for faculty, staff and administrators about intellectual property rights for teaching materials in digital form. Because the use of technology in instruction is a rapidly evolving area, the Policy provides that the Standing Committee on Copyright will monitor its implementation and recommend revisions based on experience.
