f. Ordinary Use of Resources. Ordinary use of UNA resources occurs when an author/creator uses UNA resources or facilities in a manner consistent with use expected for the day to day performance of the individual's obligations to UNA, such as ordinary use of library facilities, office space, office supplies or equipment including copiers, telephones, and fax machines, or UNA owned personal computers or other electronic devices. g. Public Domain. Copyrights exist for a set amount of time and once the copyright expires, the work is in the public domain and can be used without obtaining further permission. However, copyright lasts for decades, not years, and the actual duration of a copyright varies based on a number of factors, so it is always important to properly determine if a copyright has expired. h. Substantial Commitment of Resources. UNA makes a substantial commitment of resources to a Work if the author/creator makes use of UNA personnel, equipment and/or facilities beyond the Ordinary Use of Resources. A substantial Commitment of Resources by UNA may include, for example purposes, use of laboratory facilities, designated research equipment, equipment of any kind provided through a grant or corporate sponsorship, or work or materials the funding for which was otherwise subsidized by UNA. i. Work Made for Hire (17 U.S.C. § 101): i. A "work made for hire" is: (a) a work prepared by an employee within the scope of their employment; or (b) a work specially ordered or commissioned for use as a contribution to a collective work, as a part of a motion picture or other audiovisual work, as a translation, as a supplementary work, as a compilation, as an instructional text, as a test, as answer material for a test, or as an atlas, if the parties expressly agree in a signed written agreement that the work shall be considered a work made for hire. ii. Supplementary Work . A "supplementary work" is a Work prepared for publication as an addition to or revision of the Work of another author for purposes of introducing, concluding, illustrating, explaining, revising, commenting upon, or assisting in the use of the other work, such as forewords, after words, pictorial illustrations, maps, chairs, tables, editorial notes, musical arrangements, answer material for tests, bibliographies, appendixes, and indexes. iii. Instructional Text . An "instructional text" is a literary, pictorial, or graphic work prepared for publication and with the purpose of use in systematic instructional activities. 4) SECURING PERMISSION Anyone who wishes to use a copyrighted work as a part of the creation of scholarly, instructional, or work- related materials or media must either confirm the work qualifies for an exception to the requirement to obtain permission or must obtain written permission from the copyright owner. Email correspondence is sufficient to meet the requirement for a writing, but permission granted in a phone call or other verbal conversation is not sufficient. The permission must specify the use that is permitted, for example, display in a live classroom, use in virtual learning, distribution to students, posting in a learning management system, use in course materials, use in lectures outside of the classroom or for speaking engagements, etc. If the permission from the copyright owner requires a fee, the person seeking permission to use the copyrighted work is responsible for ensuring that funds are available to cover such fee.
