Can I post content on Blackboard if it is copyright protected?
Answer
You must obtain permission from a publisher to post content on Blackboard. This requires tracking down the rightful owner and obtaining permission.
Best practice is to post content on Blackboard, that is copyright protected, is to provide a persistent link to the material. A persistent link, also known as a durable link, stable link, or permalink, is a URL that connects directly to a specific full-text article in a library database or electronic journal subscription.
Citations must also be provided along with the content you're linking.
