Each campus of the University of Texas System is now subscribed to the Copyright Clearance Center’s Annual Academic License (CCC Annual) for the academic year 2009-2010. The CCC Annual 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. The CCC Annual 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.

We will hold a System-wide videoconference, July 6, 2009, to discuss these benefits and how to take advantage of them on each campus, as well as the obligations that our licenses entail. This information about license benefits and obligations will be of interest to those who operate the services through which each campus provides digital and analog course materials to students. For example, if a campus delivers course materials using all three methods (course management system, electronic reserves and coursepacks), participants who represent each of these services should attend. Additionally, 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. So those on each campus who may be involved in making this decision will also wish to attend.

The videoconference is hosted by UT System. Sue Phillips and Georgia Harper, who implemented the CCC Annual at UT Austin for academic year 2008-2009, will be on hand to make a short presentation and to answer questions. If you have comments or questions about the videoconference, please contact Georgia Harper (gharper@austin.utexas.edu) or Steve Rosen (srosen@utsystem.edu)
