Material from hardcopy (print) sources
When providing students with material from hardcopy sources you need to record the details in Talis which enables you to comply with our copyright licence.
The education provisions of the Copyright Act are restrictive when it comes to making multiple copies of works to distribute to students.
Our CLNZ copyright licence
Victoria University of Wellington has a licence with Copyright Licensing Limited New Zealand (CLNZ) that allows staff to copy from hardcopy/print published material, overthe limit allowed under the Act.
If you need to provide students with a copy of a work from hardcopy/print, the educational provisions of the Copyright Act restrict the amount that can be copied to 3 pages or 3% of the work whichever is greater. The CLNZ license increases the amount that can be copied to one chapter or 10% of the work whichever is greater. This process must be managed through Talis.
Talis
Talis helps you create and manage course reading lists for students and checks the material for copyright compliance. All material provided from hard copy (e.g. physical books) must be entered in to Talis.
Information about the items in Talis will be checked for copyright compliance, provides accurate references, and reliable access to students. It enables the University to report accurately to CLNZ.
Copyright exclusions
The CLNZ licence covers copying (photocopying or scanning) from hardcopy / print sources, except the following:
- material from the internet
- material from e-journals or e-books
- material taken from a database the University subscribes to
- material made available under a creative commons licence
- any work not under copyright (if unsure assume it is still under copyright)
- legislation and regulations
- select Committee reports
- printed music (including words)
- loose maps and charts
- separate pictures and photos, for example, those that have not come from books or journals
- theses dissertation and student papers
- unpublished material.
- videos, film, performance, and music scores (we hold other licenses for some of these)
- Works whose copyright holders have withdrawn from this scheme, such as Standards New Zealand or the Janet Frame Literary Trust.
Making copies for courses
Under the CLNZ licence multiple copies must be recorded in Talis and can be provided to students either online in Talis or in print form. Material copied under this licence must be limited to students, is time bound to the duration of the course, and not be publicly accessible.
Copying limits for different types of material (e.g. books, articles) can be found in the Talis guide.
