Navigating the Legal Print: Academic Licenses in the UW Libraries
Academic research materials are a key resource for students and educators. Authorized actions - for example, making digital or print copies, scholarly sharing with colleagues, or disseminating works to other libraries (interlibrary loan) - are described in their legal licenses. For this project, we reviewed, amended, and categorized 698 licenses and legal materials in order to assist students, faculty, and staff in utilizing content in their academic research. With the conclusion of this project, the updated Alma database will better inform individuals on matters of Fair Use, Data Privacy, and Accessibility.
