<![CDATA[<p>What is the best way to make a journal article or other copyrighted work available to students in a course <STRONG>web</STRONG><EM>Café</EM> Classic room?</p><p><span id="bodyfont" style="font-family:Verdana; font-size: 10pt;"><span id="bodyfont" style="font-size: 10px; font-family: Verdana"><font size="2">Whenever possible, it's preferable to make a link from your <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> Classic course room to the published article or work. This is easy if the publication posts its articles on its own Web site:</font>
<ul>
<li><font size="2">First find the article and highlight its web address (URL, or web address beginning with <font face="Courier New">http://</font>) in your browser's address bar. Type Ctrl-C to copy it to your computer's clipboard; copying to clipboard can also be done by right-clicking the highlighted address with your mouse, then choosing <em>Copy</em> from the pop-up menu.<br />
<br />
</font></li>
<li><font size="2">In your <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> room, go to the folder in which you want the article to appear, then press the <strong>create</strong> button.<br />
<br />
</font></li>
<li><font size="2">Choose to create a <em>Link</em>, then on the <em>Create Link</em> screen fill in a title or descriptive name for the article in the first entry field, which is labeled <em>Title</em>. Next, click in the second box labeled <em>Address </em>and press Ctrl-V (or right-click inside the second box and choose <em>Paste</em>) to paste the web address you copied. <br />
</font></li>
<li><font size="2">Recommended: Check the <em>Open in a new window</em> checkbox, then press <strong>OK</strong>.<br />
<br />
</font></li>
<li><font size="2">The link to the article will now appear as a icon in <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> which, when clicked, will show the article.</font> </li>
</ul>
<p><font size="2">Not all publications will post their articles on the web. In that case you may be able to find a link to a licensed web-based copy of the article in one of Lippincott Library's databases. For example, many articles in Business Source Premier will have a "persistent link to this article" which can be used as the address for a <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> Link. The </font><a href="http://www.library.upenn.edu/lippincott/" target="_blank"><font size="2">Lippincott librarians</font></a><font size="2"> will be happy to help you with this process, and you may even </font><a href="http://webcafe.wharton.upenn.edu/guide/ManageMembers.html" target="_top"><font size="2">add a librarian as a member</font></a><font size="2"> of your <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> room if you have made arrangements to have articles or study guides posted by him/her for your students.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">Finally, one procedure about which the <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> Team does not have any official advice would be uploading a copy of the article you already have as a file, such as a PDF. There's nothing inherent in using <strong>web</strong><em>Café</em> which clears copyright for articles or connotes electronic distribution of copyrighted material as fair use. Also, for certain classes of electronic documents -- such as Harvard cases -- redistribution is expressly forbidden by existing licensing agreements between the School or University and the publisher or rights holder.</font></p>
<p><font size="2">The School of Arts and Sciences web site includes some information on <a href="http://ccat.sas.upenn.edu/copyright/index.html" target="_blank">copyright and digital media in education</a> which explains the current status of issues related to electronic redistribution of copyrighted materials.</font></p>
