Copyright refers to the rights of an author or creator over control of the copying, distribution and adaption of their work.
Copyright applies automatically when something is published or recorded. Even when the copyright symbol © is not shown, copyright applies. This includes:
Only one chapter or up to 10%, whichever is greater (this includes pages with pictures and graphs).
Only one article per issue of a journal or magazine.
Online databases and electronic journals allow you to print a copy of an article, many also allow you to save and email the article to yourself. You may only make one copy of each article and you cannot redistribute it to others.
The publisher of the ebook determines how many pages of that title can be copied or printed. The ebook will provide a count down of your print and copy allowances.
Unless stated otherwise, assume all material on the internet is protected by copyright law. You need to check copyright for each site before copying or printing information.
However, if the material displays a Creative Commons or other license (e.g. royalty free) you can use the material within the conditions specified by that license.
No matter the source, remember to always acknowledge the author and source in your reference list.
Only one article per issue of a newspaper.
The copyright of a thesis is owned by the author. You must gain permission from the author before copying.
The same copyright rules apply to any items interloaned from another library. For example:
No part of any New Zealand Standard may be reproduced or copied without written permission from the publisher.
Section 43 of the Copyright Act permits 'fair dealing' for research or private study. For videos and DVDs this means you may use 30 seconds of a commercial video/DVD as long as you do not alter it.
Copyright lasts for 50 years from the end of the year in which the author/creator died. There are some exceptions to this. The period of copyright protection is longer in some countries e.g. Australia and the United States, so be aware of this.
Assume all material you use in your studies is protected by copyright unless specifically stated.
