RE: Copyright permission location

Dear Maureen,

For us (university in Canada) it very much depends on for what purpose the copyright was acquired. Our campus bookstore retains the copyright permissions (paper and digital) in their offices for coursepacks sold through the bookstore. Our Distance Education Program (that's me) keeps permissions (paper and digital) for course manuals (paper and digital) in our offices. I believe the libraries keep their own permissions but I am unsure as to the details.

We are currently starting a new project which will involve digital clearance for course information mounted within password protected sites. The permissions acquired for this pilot project will be cleared and stored in paper and digital format in my office.

We regrettably do not have one office and there is a push on campus to have an office in each department and faculty...

If you have any further questions please feel free to ask...You can contact me via my email address lmacken[_at_]ms.umanitoba.ca.

  This is to any individuals working at academic institutions. Where on campus do you keep your copyright permissions and in what form? Do you keep them in a single office or department? Do you keep them in paper or electronic form?

  Any information you might be able to provide would be most helpful.

  Thanks!
