eBook & Copyright FAQs

Can I embed a chapter from an eBook onto my course guide?

We recommend including a link to the eBook content in your course management system instead of the content itself. Ebrary, one of our eBook vendors, has more information about this recommendation in the following article on our support center:  https://proquestmeetings.webex.com/recordingservice/sites/proquestmeetings/recording/play/29829f9a74a241a2823adc2ca5d9cc2c

In a nutshell, pasting a link instead of including a downloaded PDF is less risky in terms of possible infringement because the link will only work if your site has access to the book.

 

Can I use a photo that I find in a database or eBook?

No. Those images belong to the publisher of the materials. You should not use these images beyond the recommended Fair Use timelines.
