FreeCulture.org - Students for Free Culture » Blog Archive » Publishers Seek to Limit Universities’ Fair Use
Here's a new update on the Georgia State who is being sued by 3 academic publishers for materials included in Blackboard. Through it's blog, the Free Culture Organization identifies some things that mere mortals can do to fight the threat to fair use:
So what can we do? Here are some ideas, but feel free to add yours in the comments:
1. Educate yourself and school. Raise awareness about fair use and its importance to scholarship and education on campus. Both faculty and students should learn about copyright and fair use. All universities have policies relating to faculty fair use and copyright; what’s yours? Georgia State says that no more than 20% should be used, but what is your school’s policy?
2. Encourage permissive options like public domain and Creative Commons. Faculty and administration need not worry about copyright lawsuits if they are using documents, images and video that is freely available without payment.
3. Support open educational resources. Encourage faculty to publish their work in open access journals. The fewer copyright bullies to sue universities, the fewer chilling effects on education. Open access is the (legal) offense against lawsuits like this one.
4. Get creative: Harvard’s Free Culture chapter created the Thesis Repository to both raise awareness about and quantity of open access scholarship.
