Non-profit copyright licensing solution provider Copyright Clearance Center (CCC), US, has announced that the University of Texas System has expanded its adoption of CCC's Annual Copyright License from its Austin campus to the entire UT System, covering more than 150,000 undergraduate and graduate students and nearly 13,000 faculty members. The nine academic campuses and six health institutions comprising the University of Texas System make it one of the largest higher education systems in the US.
Adopted initially by the UT System at its Austin campus in 2008, the Annual Copyright License makes it easy for faculty and staff to license published materials for use in coursepacks, e-reserves, course management systems, research collaboration and more. For a single annual fee, CCC's Annual Copyright License provides librarians, faculty, copy shop staff and others with pre-approved permission to use and share content from millions of books, scholarly journals, newspapers, magazine, and e-books.
Since its launch in late 2007, dozens of colleges and universities across all Carnegie classes have adopted CCC's annual license, including; The University of Massachusetts Medical School, Middlebury College, Marquette University Law School, and the United States Army Command & General Staff College. The Annual Copyright License comes with comprehensive training and implementation support services, and builds on CCC's decades of experience providing licensing solutions to businesses and academic institutions.
