Blackboard Guidelines

  • Limit access to copyrighted works to students currently enrolled in the class (this is automatically done by the Registrar).
  • Limit access to the material for two weeks using Blackboard's calendar restrictions.
  • When possible, provide links to content instead of posting copies including websites and the LIU Library databases
  • Prevent further copying or redistribution of copyrighted works.
  • Repeated use from semester to semester weighs against fair use.  In such cases it is best to obtain permission from the copyright owner. 
  • Inform students of copyright laws by including a copyright notice in Blackboard and verbally reinforcing the notice in blended courses. Feel free to "copy and paste" the copyright notice below into your course.
