If you want to post content (journal articles, book chapters, media, etc.) for which you do not own the copyright, the university requires that you start with Course Reserves.
- Reserves staff will review the content and assist with fair use/public domain determinations, seeking permissions, and making royalty payments, if needed.
- You and your students can access reserves content from your Canvas course under Library Course Reserves.
