Elsevier Agrees to Let MIT Use Bits of Journal Articles Online
Publishing courses online each year involves tracking down permissions for copyrighted items. A major challenge for colleges that want to post lecture materials on the Web involves making sure they have permission to use the copyrighted images from journals and other sources that professors have put in their power point presentations. This week the Massachusetts Institute of Technology announced that it has reached a deal with Elsevier, one of the largest journal publishers, to allow a limited amount of material from its journals to be used in MIT’s OpenCourseWare project.
The publisher hasn’t exactly given away the store: The agreement allows the project to use up to three illustrations per journal article, and up to 100 words of text. But what if you are not MIT??? Good question-no anwer.
