NYU Libraries' FAQs

If the instructor is the copyright holder or has permission from the copyright holder to use material from their own collections in Brightspace, Perusall, or other LMS-integrated tools, then they are free to do so. Instructors can also make their own fair use evaluation to determine whether their intended use can be covered by fair use under copyright law. The Libraries’ Fair Use guide page provides a starting point to learn the four-factor framework for fair use evaluations, and Columbia Libraries’ Fair Use Checklist is a useful tool to guide an evaluation.
