Custom Learning Materials
Document Solutions provides printing for the University’s Custom Courseware, required reading materials and other SFU Bookstore materials.
We coordinate printing and finishing for course materials, handouts, course outlines, student guides and other educational materials to enhance your learner and teaching experience.
We scan and arrange for educational copyright clearance on your custom learning materials to ensure conformance with legal requirements.
Your prepared course materials can be archived for future printing/reordering with a simple request using our online print management systems.
For courseware you are allowed to use 15-20% of a trade book. If the book is a text book, you are allowed only 5%. If you are unsure whether your book is trade or text, just submit the article(s) and the Custom Courseware clerk will check into it.
You may use one article from each journal/newspaper/magazine issue.
If you are using material from a website please include the web address in your worksheets, there is usually a disclaimer or copyright symbol ©. Often the web material requires direct permissions, so it is vital that the address you downloaded from is included.
Material is public domain when the author has been dead over 50 years, and the source used for the courseware is the original, or was published before the author’s death. In other words, if you use something that an editor has re-published recently, in an anthology, for example, then it is considered copyrighted and does not fall under public domain.
