Information for Staff

Most websites have their own Terms and Conditions stating what people can do with their content. Some explicitly state that you can use their content for education. With these websites, you can treat them as granting you permission to use their content in education, and when attributing, state that it's used with permission.

Where you need to register or pay a subscription to access and download the material, the subscription terms will tell if you can use it in education or for your classes. Such content can only be used by you in your training delivery. Attribute as used under subscription and do not share with other staff members. If you wish others to use the content, recommend to the PLC for a TAFE Queensland subscription.

Where you need to use significant amount from a website and they do not permit reproduction, contact them to seek permission.

If you have acquired written permission from the copyright owner to use their material, the permission should be uploaded to the Licences collection in Resourcebank. Always check Resourcebank for any existing licences and permissions before seeking new ones.

TAFE Queensland has a Copyright Permission Request form you can use when seeking permission from copyright owners. If you have any questions, contact your Learning Services Librarian or the Copyright & Licencing Services Team.
