iLearn@Bond guidelines
Using Resource Lists easily and seamlessly provides resources to your students in iLearn and is the compliant way to deliver content in line with the University's Copyright and iLearn policies.
If you want to use an electronic resource on a website, or from a Library online database, stream a video or provide access to a government report, then linking to and citing the original resource from within a Resource List or an Articulate module is the compliant method of delivery.
Do not upload pdfs directly into iLearn subject sites.
The Library has created a guide for educators on how to create and manage Resource Lists.
Consult these other pages in the guide for compliant use of copyright material in iLearn and Collaborate.

Digital resources
Copyright compliant use of digital resources can be achieved by:
-
Linking to and fully citing articles/chapters in Library databases and PDFs on legitimate websites in Resource Lists.
-
Placing only materials created by Bond University staff, i.e. where the copyright is owned by the University, into iLearn.
-
Placing a Copyright Notice at the beginning of each Bond University PowerPoint presentation that is uploaded.
-
Linking to and citing YouTube and other videos from within Resource Lists.
For more information see the subject resources guidelines.
Use of Library Resources and AI
When using generative artifical intelligence (genAI) for learning, teaching and research you must consider what you are legally allowed to upload into AI tools.
Many library database agreements contain clauses about the use of AI, so please read the terms of use stated in the database listing footer to understand your obligations. (e.g https://bond.libguides.com/az/oxford-journals-online)
By connecting to and using Library commercial databases, online journals, videos and books you agree to:
-
Not input or upload files to any Gen AI sites or tools that may share or distribute the information from those files, unless expressly allowed by the vendor.
Please contact your faculty librarian with any questions.
Use of online images
It is best to use images that are free of copyright, or free to use under a Creative Commons licence. Browse the copyright-friendly image databases on the Images page of this guide.
Most images will need an attribution and a link back to the source, or are available under a Creative Commons licence. The licence should should also be cited, and linked to.
Artistic works such as digital images, photographs and diagrams found on the internet can be used for teaching purposes under the following conditions.
Educators should ensure that:
- The Copyright Warning Notice is displayed at the beginning of the lecture or as the first slide in your PowerPoint presentation.
- The reproduced image is accompanied by a citation and a link back to the source where possible.
- The limits on copying under the statutory licence are applied.
It is also recommended that all PowerPoint presentations that can be downloaded are Bond branded.
Hardcopy scans and pdfs
No copyright material (a PDF of an article, book extract, etc.) should be downloaded and stored in iLearn@Bond, even if this is permitted such as in the case of open-access journals or freely available material on websites. Always link to the original resource, including online articles or books in databases to which the Library subscribes via your subject Resources List.
Hardcopy materials must be provided to the Library for scanning and registration before being made available in iLearn. Add the citation to your Resource List and tag it "Scan to eReserve". You may attach a scanned version to the citation if you have one. The Library will complete copyright checking and transfer it to the eReserve repository.
Contact your faculty librarian for assistance.
Copies of newspaper articles, photographs, images, extracts from books, etc. that cannot be linked to, should also be sent to the Library. To comply with copyright law, the Library can only make digital copies of one chapter or 10% of a book, or one article from a journal issue.
Do not upload pdfs directly into iLearn subject sites.
