Subject resources guidelines
Educators can easily create accessible resource lists via iLearn.
The vast wealth of digital resources available through Library Search and material in databases and copyright compliant internet sites can be selected and seamlessly displayed in iLearn for easy access for educators and students.
This guide sets out all the steps for creating and managing resource lists, and how to use the easy integrated linking feature in iLearn.
Digitisation of hard copy resources
Is the article or book chapter available in hard copy only?
- Add the citation details to your Resource List and tag it with "Scan for e-Reserve". The Resource List - Guide for educators explains how to do this.
- The Library will do all the necessary copyright compliance checks, digitise the material and update the citation in the resource list with the link.
- If you are not using the Resource Lists service, you can send the publication details to ereserve@bond.edu.au.
Following this procedure gives students easy access to your subject material as they can read it online, print or download it for their personal research, or study under the Fair Dealing section of the Copyright Act.
Copyright preparation for hardcopy course readers/workbooks/manuals
Copyright limits
Under the Educational Institutions - Statutory Licence provisions of the Copyright Act 1968 and
- 10% or one chapter of a literary text, or dramatic work;
- One article from a journal (or more than one article if they relate to the same subject matter);
- All of a literary, or dramatic work (up to 15 pages) from an anthology, which includes conference proceedings and published editions of collected works.
Artistic works, including graphs and tables, from books and websites must be clearly cited and included in a reference list.
Please note that some subscription electronic databases will not allow digital, or print course pack copying.
Copyright notice
Place a Copyright Notice on the cover of the manual/workbook. Once the material for the workbook has been collated, the course reader/manual/workbook requires a Cover page that must include the following information:
- The name of the Faculty
- The subject's name and number
- The subject instructor's name
- A description of the purpose for which the materials are made (e.g. Tutorial Readings, Semester 3, 2018), and
- A Copyright Notice, provided in a text box as shown below, should be on the front cover:
Some of the material in this manual/reader/workbook has been made available in accordance with section 113P of the Copyright Act 1968 (Act) for the teaching purposes of the University.
For use only by students of Bond University enrolled in the subject:
<example> BMED12-119 Biological and Physical Chemistry </example>
Insert an Acknowledgements/References page at the beginning of the reader/manual/workbook listing the source of all the copyright material used including images.
References should include:
- Name of author
- Title
- Publisher (if known)
- Number of pages copied
- A link to the original work/website
See the attached Acknowledgements page example at the end of this guide.
Library copyright check
The last step is a copyright check by Library Services before the order is placed with the Print Shop. This step ensures that the University provides copyright-compliant material to our students and that the printed product meets the provisions of the University's copyright policy.
You will receive prompt feedback so your order can be placed with the Print Shop in good time for the start of classes each semester.
Charges for the reader, manual or workbook must be based on a legitimate cost-recovery basis. There cannot be any element of profit when charging students. This point does not apply if the printed material is being provided free of charge to the students by the Faculty.
