Introduction to Copyright and IPR issues

This guide is aimed at research students at GCU. It provides:

  • a brief overview of copyright law in the UK
  • details about copying for your own private research and study
  • details about copying for teaching purposes
  • a guide to copyright and intellectual property rights (IPR) and academic publications
  • A guide to copyright, the Internet and Blackboard

We are linking out to the copyright pages on our main library web site. These are mobile device friendly. They were created with the help of Dr Jane Secker of the LSE. We will soon be adding a short "copyright in action".

stars and stripes flag We also have a separate set of pages aimed at our research students based at GCUNY. Remember that copyright law is different in each country, so check that you are looking at the correct set of information!
