Course Packet Copyright Clearance
By combining a variety of published works with an instructor's own pages, custom course packets have become valuable tools in the college classroom. However, copyright laws have made the use of course packs somewhat daunting. While there is often confusion surrounding the implications of copyright laws on educational uses (see Copyright Guidelines), course packets generally require copyright clearance on some, if not all, of the materials included.
The DP&PS Customer Service Department provides copyright clearance assistance in the creation of custom course packs. Though we use the nation’s premier copyright clearance service, Copyright Clearance Center, which eases the process in working with many publishers, you can still expect and plan for a four to six week waiting period. The final price of the course packets will include the fees paid to publishers for copyright clearance.
