The digital environment in which we live has created many opportunities for faculty and students to flourish in new ways. At the same time, it is also easier for the average person to obtain proprietary works illegally via the internet. In an effort to both protect our faculty's content and ensure that we do not inadvertently (or overtly) violate the copyright of others, the Sub-Committee on Copyright revised copyright guidelines to assist in compliance.
At Marshall University, faculty, students and staff are required to follow Copyright (draft) and Intellectual Property policies and adhere to the guidelines for producing, using and sharing creative or educational works.
Questions from faculty, staff and students regarding the copyright status of a work or use of proprietary works can be directed to Dr. Monica Brooks , at 304-696-6474 or brooks@marshall.edu.

Copyright Seminars
All faculty, staff, TA/GA students, are invited to attend any of the following copyright seminars designed to keep us abreast of Title 17 copyright law and the application of fair use guidelines to the higher education environment. If you are using any kind of A/V and electronic curriculum support materials in a traditional or online classroom, we can help provide some tools to aid you in making informed copyright use decisions. No RSVP is needed; just join us!
The 2009-2010 schedule will be posted here.
