Special television programs such as Learning Links, conducted under the auspices of public television, and other off-air subscriptions to television programs expand school access to broadcasting. In general, due to time constraints and the limited availability of equipment, no television programs are recorded by the Media Center. Public and instructional television programs recorded by an individual instructor, may be used within the institution itself and retained for 7 days. Commercial television programs may be recorded by instructors for use in classroom or institutional activities and may be retained for 45 days before the copy is erased or destroyed. Recordings may not be changed, but may be limited to segments, and for educational purposes do not have to be shown in full.
Instructors can record particular programs only once.
The Library and Media Center operate under specific rules, and will not accept any responsibility for an individual s need or desire to copy protected materials. The American Library Association recommends that instructors be selective and sparing in the use of photocopied, copyrighted material. It is the responsibility of instructors to obtain permission to make photocopies of material used in their classroom or placed on reserve in the library. It is also their responsibility to include the required copyright notification on each photocopy. YVCC assumes no liability for copyright violations.
