Copyright Clearance Center Annual License

What is the CCC?

Each campus of the University of Texas System is now subscribed to the Copyright Clearance Center’s Annual Academic License. The license enhances each campus’ existing rights to make and distribute copies of materials to students. Each campus currently relies on a combination of library licensed materials, materials whose owners make them available freely over the Internet, and fair use. This adds to that body of materials and rights to use them the ability to copy and distribute materials owned by the Annual’s publisher participants, through online course management systems such as Blackboard, through electronic reserve systems in campus libraries, and through electronic and paper coursepacks, created both on and off campus.

There are some decisions that the individual universities will have to make. For instance, each campus will need to consider whether it wishes to extend the CCC Annual privileges to its area copy shops. The license permits this, but does not require it.

In July, several videoconferences were held to introduce the CCC and its benefits. Discussions included how to take advantage of them on each campus, as well as the obligations that our licenses entail. The fee that each university pays in order to participate is based on FTE student population, which the CCC uses as a proxy for general academic material use based on Carnegie classification for each institution.
