Your Reading List in Canvas is a central location for all of your student readings. It allows the University to monitor and report the use of copyright material to the Copyright Agency, allowing fair remuneration of creators. 

Note that the upload or sharing of copyright material outside of the reading list may place the University in breach of the Statutory License.

Library staff can assist by making high quality scans of chapters, articles, or excerpts from texts, and ensuring compliance in the use of copyright material.

Copyright limitations per unit in each teaching period

Books: One chapter or 10% (whichever is greater) of an edition.

Journals: One article from each issue, or more than one if it is for the same research topic.

Other documents: 10% of pages, or 10% of words if electronic. (If the document is freely available online, please link to it directly.)

Note that we are not permitted to upload different sections of a document sequentially to avoid the copyright limits.

If you need to use additional material from the same document, Library staff may be able to:

• Purchase or subscribe to the ebook (if available)
• Scan the chapter from a different edition (if available)
• Scan an alternate reading of your choice
• Contact the publisher of out-of-print books and get written permission to reproduce more of the document (requires some lead time).

More information: 

Contact the UCLearn support team via ServiceDesk@canberra.edu.au or attend a virtual drop-in.

For teaching your students, you may copy:

• One chapter of a book, or 10% of the pages (10% of the words if the work is in electronic form)
• One article from a journal or newspaper (more if the articles are on the same subject matter in a special edition)
• 15 pages from an anthology (for example: a collection of short stories)
• All of an artistic work, for example: a diagram or photo (when not available for separate purchase)
• 10% of a sheet music piece or play

You may:

• Have the material available online through a Leganto reading list.
• Make multiple photocopies
• Create a course pack
