Campus copyright: publishers sue over university "e-reserves"
How should schools handle copyright clearance for their electronic course materials? Maybe they should fine professors who do not prepare their materials in time to get proper clearance? Maybe they should ban all materials from eReserves if they are not cleared first? These options do not sound very conducive to learning and adapting the educational experience to important and relevant current debates. Schools could try to individually or collectively negotiate standard license fees to be paid for each type of educational content, that way the schools can set their budgets ahead of time and the content holders get paid.
Just a thought...
