Abstract
Changing technology, changing laws, the ease of copying, and the growing access to a vast array of online materials have all changed how copyright affects academic work and consequently the content and complexity of institutional copyright policies. Traditionally oriented policies and systems that have not been updated to address the full range of issues present a risk and a barrier to ongoing development and use of e-learning. This paper suggests a range of issues that institutions should be addressing and presents evidence that many institutions lack modern and effective policies in this area.
