This article reports on an annual copyright license for colleges created by the Copyright Clearance Center, a nonprofit group that manages licenses for the reuse of published material, that will allow institutions to pay a blanket fee to use copyrighted material instead of securing the rights to such content on a case-by-case basis. The blanket fee will make it easier for professors and librarians to place articles and book excerpts in course packets, in electronic reserves, and on course Web sites, officials with the project say. Under the center's current "pay per use" system, colleges must individually acquire the rights for every use of copyrighted content not covered by fair-use doctrine. That system has left many campus librarians inundated with copyright requests, says Tim Bowen, a product marketing manager for the copyright center. But institutions that pay for the new license will be able to take a "click and go" approach to securing reuse rights, he says: Officials at those colleges need only check the center's Web site to determine whether an article or book is available under the license. If the material is covered, professors can feel free to reuse it for any number of academic purposes through the rest of the academic year. Implications for the current debate over fair use are briefly discussed.
