More information on copyright use coming soon!
Copyright is confusing, even intimidating, and therefore often ignored. But ignorance of the law is not a defense and, as educators, there is a responsibility to educate ourselves. This web site will teach you some basics of copyright law as it applies to an educational setting. (Disclaimer)
Copyright Policy
Adopted
by the Board April 10, 2001
Revised December 2004
It is the intent of the Board of Trustees of Heartland Community College
to adhere to the provisions of the U.S. copyright law (Title 17, United
States Code, Section 101, et seq.). Therefore, the Board of Trustees
directs the administration to develop and distribute to employees clear
copyright guidelines that strongly encourage compliance with the copyright
law, and inform employees of their rights and responsibilities under
the law.
The Board of Trustees prohibits unauthorized duplication that violates
copyright law, licenses or contractual agreements in any form. All College
employees are expected to obey the United States copyright laws in their
use of print and audio-visual materials and microcomputer software.
Illegal copies or sharing of copyrighted software, movies, or music
may not be made or used on equipment owned by the College. Employees
who willfully disregard this Board policy do so at their own risk and
assume all liability for their actions.
