The University of Texas System has purchased an Annual Copyright License with RightFind Academic. Review RightFind Academic for permission to reuse materials to “post in a course-management system” or “display in a presentation within your institution”. Keep in mind that “educational use” refers to internal education rather than to presentations or classes given to external audiences (i.e., conferences).
What is covered by the RightFind Academic license?
This license permits the reuse of most text-based content for electronic course content as well as for coursepacks, classroom handouts, library reserves, e-mail, research collaboration, and administrative communications. This license covers most academic and research uses of content.
What is not covered by the RightFind Academic license?
Interlibrary loan, commercial document delivery, promotion and advertising, and cover-to-cover copying of textbooks, journals, or other materials. The RightFind Academic license is separate from the complex licenses that provide access to journal content and are managed by the Research Medical Library at MD Anderson.
How do I use RightFind Academic?
To see if the article you wish to post for your students is covered under the RightFind Academic license, search for the journal title at https://rightfind.copyright.com.
Review the license in the "How can I use this copyrighted content?" box.
If the journal is not covered, select "View more uses" where you have an option to purchase copyright permission under the Price and Order options.
Ask the library if you have questions about using RightFind Academic (RML-Help@mdanderson.org).
