How do I attribute material to avoid copyright infringement?
Answer
When attributing material to avoid copyright infringements, there are several steps that must be followed. These have been broken up into three parts.
Part 1: Documents
Create documents and assessments using the NMTAFE Letterheads, Templates and Logos. These branding resources can be found on the Marketing and Communications page on SharePoint, or by clicking the links Key Academic Documents and Logos at the bottom of the page.
The footer at the bottom of the page should show:
- Institution Name (I.e. North Metropolitan TAFE)
- Date
- Faculty
- Course Code and Title
- Lecturer/Teacher
Do not make your own NMTAFE banners and logos as this can lead to unnecessary copyright charges.
Part 2: PowerPoints
When making PowerPoint presentations, the college templates must be used. These templates can be accessed via the PowerPoint link at the bottom of the page.
Part 3: Copyright Notice
Where applicable insert a Copyright notice. A link to a collection of copyright notices can be found by pressing the link to the FAQ about Copyright Notices at the bottom of the page.
Finally, make sure you attribute, even if you have made the work yourself. For example;
© North Metropolitan TAFE, 2023.
