Do's and Don'ts of posting materials on Moodle
Do	Don't
Link to library online resources Use persistent links to journal articles. You can search NUsearch for ebooks you can link to.	Don't upload pdfs of library online resources (e.g. ejournal articles) that you have downloaded. This is not normally allowed under our supplier licences.
Use the library scanning service to provide extracts from books and journals under the CLA HE licence.	Don't scan and upload print materials yourself, unless you have permission to do so.
Look for copyright free, or open licensed materials that you can copy and reuse. See the open licences and images pages for websites you can search.	Don't copy and paste, or download images and other materials from the internet without checking copyright
Link to web resources rather than upload copies to Moodle.	Don't link to web resources whose origin is doubtful, or could be infringing.
Fully reference and attribute any copyright work that you copy, or link to.	Don't include copyright materials without stating the source.
