Guidelines for What You Can Put on eReserve
The Library’Äôs new eReserve system has rapidly become a very
popular way to distribute course material to students. In an effort
to facilitate the use of this system we are providing a simplified
guide to the type of material we will put on eReserve and what
conditions may apply. This is meant to provide a general guideline
to faculty and does not represent an interpretation or replacement
for the extensive and complicated copyright legislation and related
agreements (e.g. Access
Copyright, formerly CanCopy). It is also a general guide, so if
you are unsure of where the material you are considering falls,
please contact Kim Nguyen (k.nguyen@uwinnipeg.ca, 9809)
or Mark Leggott (m.leggott@uwinnipeg.ca,
9801).
The Library will automatically place material that meets the
following description on eReserve (e.g. falls under fair dealing
concept of the Copyright legislation).
- Journals/Magazines/Newspapers
- any article from any journal or magazine issue, regardless
of whether or not we subscribe to the title.
- Books
- 1 or 2 chapters from a book (or where they would not form a
substantial part of the work) and at least one of the following:
- we have the book in our collection;
- we have ordered the book for the collection;
- it was published more than 50 years ago & is out of
print & unavailable;
- multiple chapters or articles from anthologies assuming they
do not make up a substantial part of the volume;
- multiple chapters or articles from edited copies assuming
they do not make up a substantial part of the volume.
- Other Formats
- Slides, Images, Maps and Video
- with permission from the copyright holder
- Government documents
- any document available in digital format, or where a
digital copy can be made without seeking permission
- or with permission of the copyright holder
- Textbooks (digital), and Course packs
- with permission of the copyright holder
- or with course packs, if individual elements fall into
categories listed above
- Materials provided by the author where they own copyright:
- graphical/multimedia material (Powerpoint files, images,
animations, etc.);
- class lectures (Powerpoint, Acrobat PDF,, etc.).
- Material from the Web where the creator has indicated consent
for educational purposes.
The Library will seek permission for other materials that fall
outside the above guidelines (ie. where Copyright permission is
required). This may result in additional fees being charged by the
copyright owner. In this case the Library will absorb the additional
costs of the item, although in some cases we may ask the faculty
member to cover any additional costs. An example of such an item
would be where a faculty member requests that more than 2 chapters
from the same book (or where they form a substantial part of the
work) be placed on eReserve.
Items on eReserve or Reserve may be retained from one year to the
next as long as the guidelines are followed.
In those cases where the Library subscribes/owns an electronic
version of the article/book, a link to the electronic copy will be
made, rather than creating a new scanned version of the printed
equivalent.

including how to create a link to electronic versions of material,
