[ED-TECH] Learn about XanEdu coursepacks and copyright clearance

Ed-Tech Mailing List,

On Monday, 2/13, there will be a faculty lunch and learn session on the XanEdu coursepack system. Come see the process that faculty can use to provide student access to copyrighted materials. See the costs and benefits of this system versus trying to link to material within our library databases, using eReserves, or posting scanned in copies of documents. This is an opportunity to evaluate your risk as a professor as you distribute various materials to your students. I encourage you to attend.

Lunch will be served. Registration is limited and required. Go to www.snurl.com/xanedu to register.

XanEdu - Electronic and Printed Coursepacks

How do we make sure that students have access to the materials that they need, especially if the materials are copyrighted articles from magazines or journals? One of the solutions available today is the XanEdu coursepack. The professor goes on-line and specifies what needs to be in the coursepack. XanEdu calculates the charges, including copyright fees. The professor determines whether to use electronic or printed deliver. Printed copies can be sold out of the bookstore. Electronic copies can be purchased on-line by the students. Come to this Lunch and Learn to see how this process works and what problems it solves.
