To take advantage of the most recent material on a subject, or to compile materials from a variety of sources, some faculty choose to develop a “course packet” with a set of readings for the semester. As an alternative to having students purchase textbooks or course packets, faculty are increasingly using course websites on Canvas to post links to articles online or PDFs of printed articles or chapters.
Please contact our Tisch Library liaison, Jennifer Ferguson, for assistance with library materials and streaming media for your course.
The ExCollege office has scanning capabilities to facilitate creating PDFs for posting on Canvas.
Our understanding of the law regarding photocopying for educational purposes is to limit what you reproduce from any one book, roughly speaking, to no more than 10%, and from any one journal to no more than two articles. Please consult Tisch Library for more guidance and review Tufts’ policy on “fair use.”
