Academics can:

• distribute a “reasonable portion” of a separately published literary or dramatic work in hard copy, including excerpts of separately published sheet music
• perform literary and dramatic works
• perform musical works
• include excerpts of text in lecture presentations
• lecture capture excerpts of text

Under the educational statutory licence academics can make text works available to students via the University Library’s Unit of Study Readings Service.

• Unit of Study readings can be linked to the Learning Management System
• Academics must not upload text works directly to the Learning Management System

Access must be protected by Unikey.

Under the educational statutory licence, academics can only copy within the limits prescribed by our agreement with the Copyright Agency.

The current agreement was entered into before the section 113P educational statutory licence commenced and does not terminate until 31 December 2018. However, the agreement provides that if the section 113P educational statutory licence is introduced during the term of the agreement, the University can copy and communicate works under the new educational statutory licence up to and including the amount that would have been permitted under Part VB (the old educational statutory licence).

As a result, for each unit of study academics and other University staff can copy a “reasonable portion” of a work:

• 10% or 1 chapter of a book (whichever is greater)
• 10% of the words on a website. Determining 10% of the words on a website can be difficult. If this is the case, only copy what you need for the educational purpose
• 10% of a printed music score

We can exceed the copying limits (ie a whole book or entire play) where the work is not separately published or, if it is separately published, it is not available within a reasonable time at an ordinary commercial price.

In relation to journals, one article in a journal issue can be copied, more than one article if the articles are on the same subject.

Text works copied under the educational statutory licence must include a section 113P warning notice and should be labelled with the name of the author and publisher, where the material was copied from and when it was copied.

Library staff will apply all appropriate notices and attribution to all unit of study readings.

Presentations containing third party copyright material must include a section 113P warning notice.
