Abstract
In many academic institutions, streaming media is becoming the preferred format for delivery of audiovisual instructional materials. The University of Northern Colorado (UNC) recently licensed a streaming media server, “Ensemble,” enabling faculty to request the upload of streaming audiovisual materials for on-campus and distance courses. In order to promote copyright compliance, the UNC Libraries was asked to create a document to guide faculty members in ensuring that all streaming materials are lawfully obtained and that copyright law is followed. An FAQ was drafted to provide faculty with understandable, accessible guidelines. The document outlines a 6-step protocol that faculty can use to determine whether their media may be legally streamed via the university’s course management system. Topics include working with the library to purchase streaming licenses, requesting permission from copyright holders, following the TEACH Act, and making a fair use argument. Advice for certain scenarios is also supplied, such as dealing with encrypted media and reformatting older media types for streaming. The poster will outline the information that is included in the copyright guide, briefly discuss the process of creating the guide, and provide advice for librarians who may wish to provide a similar service for instructors at their institutions.
