Welcome to Copyright Literacy! This site will provide you with resources and tools to understand copyright and build on your confidence in copying right.
My name is Erica Levi, and I am the Copyright Lead at Coventry University. I create posts for all staff and students in the Coventry University Group.
Copyright is important when using any third-party material, even for educational purposes.
You are legally responsible for ensuring you comply with copyright law: you should select material that is lawfully accessible and reusable in the specific way you intend to use it.
Whether you are a new starter or have been here for a few years, this site is designed to give you some core skills and understanding about copyright that will be useful to you even beyond the University.
Copyright literacy is part of digital skills that are increasingly important in today’s society, and I hope you’ll have everything you need to succeed.
