Reporting of teaching material to Copydan

How do I report to Copydan Writing at the School of Communication and Culture?


As a teacher, you must report the teaching material used. AU has a copying agreement with Copydan Writing, which means that you can legally copy and use excerpts from all over the world's published text and sheet music materials, both printed and digital material from Danish and foreign publications.

You must send your literature lists to copydan@cc.au.dk, and you are welcome to send the lists continuously. We collect the lists and send them twice a year on 1 March or 1 October to Copydan Writing.

CopyDan accepts many different formats - including the submission of whole semester plans, as long as the literature references are highlighted and contain the necessary information.

You also can send the lists in one of the following ways:


You have quite a bit of literature for each course, which you prefer to type into a Word form
If you prefer to enter titles into a Word document, download and use one of the templates in the right margin. Complete and send the form to copydan@cc.au.dk.

or...

You have already created a bibliography for each course, which is complete and ready to be sent
Send the finished bibliography to copydan@cc.au.dk. However, you should ensure that all information that Copydan requires is on your list.

See here on the right which information your list must contain if you use your own version.

  • Unfortunately, we cannot be of assistance with rules within copying and copyright, but refer to the guidelines from the AU Library and the liaison librarian, which can be found below

Liaison librarians

When teaching and using material in lectures, there are a number of rules of which you need to be aware. For example, do you know which rules apply if you wish to show a television broadcast, upload an article to Brightspace or use images in your slides?

Material from the Internet

Finding relevant course material online can be quick and easy, while it can be much more difficult to assess whether or not you may share this material with your students. 

Copying, printing and scanning

If you would like to hand out copies or prints, make printed compendia or scan material for your students, then the rules that apply are dependant on the original.

 

Copydan agreements

Aarhus University has entered into three agreements with Copydan - one for text, one for images and one for AV material.

Videos

When you make use of video clips during lectures, you need to be aware not only of the conditions placed by the individual video service you are using, but also of the Copyright Act and the Personal Data Act.

Danish radio/TV

Read how you can use radio and television broadcasts in your teaching - both your own recordings as well as content from Mediestream.

Images

If you want to use images during teaching, you need to be aware of the agreement between AU and Copydan (Visual).

What is copyright?

Copyright protects the creators of texts, music, images, websites, television broadcasts, databases, etc. The vast majority of works are protected by copyright. The copyright represents a balance between creator and user. One should therefore be aware of one’s own copyright, as well as respecting the rights of others. Developments in the digital world have brought an increased focus on copyright, this also applies to the use of copyrighted material within universities.

Copyright law
