•All suggests the need for enhanced staff development and new services
Workshops and training at LSE• Dedicated copyright sessions
• For academic and admin staff• For PhD students and researchers• For students?
• Embedding copyright training in other sessions• Training for the VLE• Using images in teaching
• Online course
Advice and support for staff• Dealing with email, phone and face
to face queries• One average 10-15 per month
• Guides and online support • FAQs• Printed guides• Online guide to copyright• Online guide to Copyright and E-
learning• Quick guide to copyright and Moodle
• Referrals from Learning Technologists and Library staff
Policies / terms of use• Following the approach of social
media LSE devised terms of use for the VLE
• Moodle 2.0 also asks about licensing when uploading files
• In addition staff / student regulations also specifically mention copyright
• Also Terms of Use for IT facilities mention copyright

Managing the CLA Licence• LSE provide a central scanning and digitisation service
(epack service)• All requests processed by the Library – no scanning
undertaken in departments or by staff• In-house scanning following checks for compliance• Process managed currently using Packtracker which
produces CLA report• Also plan to deal with digital copy requests centrally to
ensure accuracy of record keeping• Fast efficient service, with scans kept on secure server
and renewed annually
The CLA Licence – commons queries• Need to report scanned material but
not photocopies• Discrepancy between what can be
scanning / photocopying repertoire• Need to link to e-journals• Can now use digital originals but not
advertising this to staff! • US publisher causing significant issue
and potentially high cost• Title search errors causing concern
Using e-resources• Can upload some content
into VLE under primary licences or CLA Licence
• Linking – more sustainable if using persistent URLs
• Linking better for students as see resource in context and can find related materials
• E-books – loading onto ipads and e-readers remains problematic
Using website content• Linking usually easier option• Downloading / copying may
be covered by website terms of use – check
• Links opening in new window• Persistence of links the
biggest issue• Some websites now covered
by CLA Licence • UK government websites
covered by Open Government Licence
Using images and multimedia• Generally don’t use CLA
Licence for images • Encourage staff to use
Creative Commons licensed material
• Sites such as JISC Digital Media very helpful
• Maintain a list of sources of images and multimedia
• Also produce video and audio resources in house
Lecture recording• Installed in most large LSE lecture
theatres• Opt-in basis for lecturers but very
popular with students• Issues of third party content being
shown and ‘copied’• Performance rights of lecturer –
content not stored beyond academic year
• Release forms for external speakers also to cover third party content
Photos from LSE Library on Flickr: no known copyright restrictions
MOOCs and copyright • MOOCs (Massive open online
courses) present challenges in terms of sourcing content
• Many do not rely on traditional published resources but use open content or lecturers own material• Use of open access readings• Use of OERs
• Some publishers working with MOOC platforms e.g. Coursera

Common queries and misconceptions
• International staff • Staff and their own publications• Use of images in teaching• Student work and permission• The VLE as a ‘private network’• You Tube and on demand TV queries
Light on the horizon?• OER movement and
Creative Commons• Open access movement
raised awareness of copyright amongst staff
• Some movement on educational copying following Hargreaves?
• But technology also creates new challenges everyday!
Any questions?
