Campus Copyright Rights and Responsibilities
"This document was developed by representatives of the Association of American Universities (John
Vaughn), the Association of Research Libraries (Duane Webster and Mary Case), the Association of
American University Presses (Peter Givler), and the Association of American Publishers (Allan Adler).
These organizations represent sectors which play central roles within higher education in the creation,
use, and management of copyrighted works. The principal objective of this project was to bring together
these groups, which have differing perspectives and often conflicting views on the appropriate use of
copyrighted works, to produce a document that conveys their common understanding regarding the basic
meaning and practical significance of copyright for the higher education community. The association
representatives above gratefully acknowledge the invaluable advice and drafting assistance of Professor
Laura Gasaway (University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill) and attorney Bruce Joseph (Wiley Rein &
Fielding LLP) in producing this document."
This 36 page document, produced in 2005, covers major topics of relevance to higher education.
