Faculty Copyright Clarity for the Classroom

Are you uploading copies of articles or book chapters to your Blackboard course but are unsure of the risks of copyright infringement? Don’t worry, the library is here to help!

The University of Texas System, including UTMB, is part of the Copyright Clearance Center’s Annual License, which covers the sharing of reading materials via Blackboard, classroom handouts, email, and more. The Annual License is intended to help faculty worry less about copyright infringement risks and the use of library or other institutional materials in their teaching endeavors.

More detailed information about the Annual License or general copyright information can be found here: https://guides.utmb.edu/copyright. If you would like help adding library materials to your Blackboard course, please contact your Library Liaison!
