Section 198 of the Copyright Act has a special exception allowing NUS to communicate multiple copies of reasonable portions articles or book chapters to students.

There are a number of conditions that NUS must meet. One of the conditions is that the copyright owner has the right to seek equitable payment for the portion of the reading copied or communicated.

Details in the Copyright Declaration form on Canvas would assist both parties to decide on an equitable remuneration for copying or communication of the reading.

Therefore faculty are required to complete the form before scanned PDFs of readings are published on Canvas.

(forms must be completed online in Canvas Course Readings page)
