Dear All,
Recently our staff were discussing the legal implications of students
uploading content from our electronic resources into outside AI
platforms. While
this violates copyright it will likely also violate our licensing
agreements with vendors. Our staff attorney suggested adding a popup box
that users would need to click to acknowledge that they will not do it
somewhere on our website for liability purposes. We use the
Springshare/Libguide platform for our website and resources. We know that
we can’t put a popup or block in all the places online that students click
through to get to our resources. How are other libraries managing this
issue?
Replies on or off list would be appreciated.
Sincerely,
Kathleen M. Tobolewski, MLS
