Copyright Policy
ITS reserves the right to identify copyrightable materials on University-owned resources. The University also investigates reported copyright violations. Works subject to copyright require written consent prior to publication within media. Providing notice and obtaining consent are the responsibilities of faculty or staff requesting publication. A record of the consent must be maintained as long as the content is online. Consent obtained by electronic means (email) will be considered adequate. Images, voices, likenesses and other information require written consent before publication in University media. Creating and using unauthorized copies of audio and visual works in either digital or non-digital format is not appropriate and may be illegal. If you unsure that your work might have copyright issues please see Fair Use Worksheet.
