May I distribute photocopied journal articles in class?
Answer
It depends, but often yes.
Whether you can distribute journal articles in class depends on the journal:
- If the journal is from the Library’s e-journal collection, you should check the journal’s terms of use. See Library Licenses.
- If the journal is not under a StFX library license or you are copying from a print journal from the Library or a personal copy, you could copy and distribute the article either under Fair Dealing, provided your use falls within the appropriate limits.
