All Libraries, Digital Support, Scholarly Communications Posted: May 18th, 2020Summer is nearly here! As faculty work to develop online courses for the summer semester, questions may arise about copyright and fair use. Common questions about online classes and copyright include:
- Can I scan a book chapter and post it in Canvas?
- Am I allowed to add a PDF journal article to Canvas that I downloaded from UCF Libraries?
- Can I link to a YouTube video?
Whether you have a question about journal articles, e-books, or streaming video, UCF Libraries is available to assist you with any copyright, fair use, or licensing questions that you have.
