Copyright: labelling requirements for staff

About labelling

labelling copies of Creative Commons works

In the case of Creative Commons works, you can provide either a General notice listing all CC licensed content on your Rory page, or a Specific notice next to each piece of copyrighted content. For more information see this article.

The label should include:

  • Acknowledgement of the copyright owner of the work
  • Title of the work
  • URL
  • Type of CC license attributed to the work

Labelling copies of sheet music

Each copy must be marked with the following:

  • AMCOS Licensed Copy
  • Name of school
  • Date copied
  • Where the owner of the original is not the school the name of the member of staff who owns the original from which the copies were made.

Each original must be marked with the following:

  • AMCOS Licence [Number]
  • Number of copies made
  • Name of school Date when copies were made

Labelling copies of copyrighted works

A copyright notice must be attached to any ‘hardcopy that is reproduced in electronic form’, and ‘any work that is communicated in electronic form’ (so.. everything).

The template for the copyright label can be downloaded here.

You can paste it into word documents, use Adobe Pro to insert it into PDFs or paste it into the RORY text box accompanying any copied text or images.

It looks like this:

Labelling works you created yourself

If all teaching and administrative staff put ‘© The Hutchins School, 2017’ in the footer of the documents they created it in the course of their duties it would greatly help the School to avoid paying copyright fees for these materials.
