It is the policy of Adler University to comply with federal copyright law and all related law codified at 17 U.S.C. §101 et seq. All faculty, staff and students must adhere to School copyright policy and are expected to seek consultation and advice from the Library when using the copyrighted works of others in the course of instruction.
Adler University is committed to fostering an environment that provides for the fair use of copyrighted works to achieve the goals of teaching, service, and research, while remaining in compliance with applicable laws. Adler University users of copyrighted works are accorded the rights and privileges pursuant to 17 U.S.C. §§107 (Fair Use), 108 (Reproduction by Libraries and Archives), 109 (First Sale Doctrine and Transfers) and 110 (Teaching Exception) and other statutory exemptions and limitations to the exclusive rights granted to the owner of a copyright protected work.
It is the policy of Adler University to inform and educate faculty, students and staff regarding federal copyright law, the rights of copyright owners, the legal obligation of the School to comply with applicable law, and the rights of the School community to use copyrighted works.
Under Adler University Copyright Policy, faculty, staff, and students retain all rights in copyrightable materials they create, except when special circumstances or contractual arrangements prevail, including, by way of example:
The work is a “work for hire” under copyright law, or the author was commissioned in writing by the University to develop the materials as part of the author’s regularly compensated duties;
Online educational environments, including online courses and any portions of face-to-face courses that are conducted online (i.e., through an LMS such as Ember) are subject to the same copyright law as materials used in a fully face-to-face setting.
Any materials used in online settings that cannot be accessed through a secure URL must either (1) comply with fair use provisions set forth in §107, Title 17 U.S.C., or (2) be used with express permission of the copyright holder. Copyright permissions may be included in the Library’s Academic Copyright License (obtained through the Copyright Clearinghouse Center) or obtained directly from the copyright holder.
