Will OCRA / Course Reserves get all necessary permissions for my reserve materials?
Answer
No. Faculty members are responsible for obtaining any necessary permission for reserves materials prior to uploading materials into course reserves or delivering those materials to Library personnel to upload. If you are unsure whether your use falls under Fair Use, you may consult our copyright guide or email rock-reserves@brown.edu . Library staff members are knowledgeable in this area and are available to assist faculty to prepare and process permissions requests prior to including materials in course reserves.
Please note that OCRA no longer exists and has been replaced by our new course reserves system.
