Units may also want to register with other university or campus units that organize or supervise Web development. All materials incorporated into a Web site must comply with the U.S. Copyright Act. Unless rights of use are clearly stated with respect to an individual item, users must seek permission from the copyright owner for all uses that are not allowed by fair use and other provisions of the U.S. Copyright Act. IUSM units are responsible for the financial and staff resources required to establish and maintain their Web pages. Many campus units offer Web site development services and server space.
Developers are responsible for the accuracy and timeliness of information at their Web sites.
Statements made in publicly accessible documents like Web pages represent IUSM as a whole in the viewer's mind, even if that is not the author's intent. Because accuracy of information is vital, developers are encouraged to verify with the sources below that data is publishable, appropriate, accurate, understandable, and consistent in tone and format with other IUSM publications. Materials published at a Web site must include applicable disclaimers. See Guideline 9 for more information. Developers of Web sites for IUSM units are encouraged to provide links to related IU system sites.
