“…Although nowadays the library more actively instructs its users about ethical and legal issues regarding information, it tends to concentrate on the sector of professors and researchers, especially due to multiple questions generated by the open access movement and its diverse routes. In the case of students, with some exceptions (Rodriguez, Greer, & Shipman, 2014), efforts seem to be concentrated in the direction of plagiarism and its detection using software, instead of on providing adequate instruction so that students will proceed in an ethical and legal way when using information. In our opinion, the adequate focus would not be exclusively on compliance with copyright law, but rather on the global comprehension of the ethical/legal principles implicit in the creation and use of information in the academic setting.…”

“…The results revealed a level of knowledge far below the one required to make proper use of the copyrighted works of other parties, or to appropriately protect and diffuse one's own intellectual creations deriving from activity as a university student. Rodriguez, Greer, and Shipman (2014) discussed the importance of developing copyright education for students as part of an overall information literacy curriculum by describing the development of a relevant, active learning online course targeting students' competencies as both users of and creators of creative content. Tang, Liang, Chen (2013) examined the copyright statements attached to electronic resources provided by college libraries to determine how often they are present, and analyzed the content of those statements for common themes.…”

This study examined undergraduate students' knowledge of copyright infringement at the University of Ilorin, Nigeria. A descriptive survey design was adopted. Three hundred and seventy-two (372) undergraduate students randomly selected from twelve universities constituted the sample for the study. Four research questions were developed and answered and data was collected through a self-designed questionnaire. The findings demonstrate that the majority of the respondents are aware of copyright infringement and have strong perception that copyright infringement is a form of intellectual dishonesty. In addition, the results indicate that downloading content from the internet without permission from the owner is the major way through which undergraduates mostly infringed on the copyright. The findings also show that high cost of textbook is a contributing factor that leads students to infringe on copyright law, followed by scarcity of materials, fear of scoring poor marks, lack of awareness and overarching curricula while the desire to defy authority had the least influence. The increasing awareness of copyright law and possible punishment for violating the law was rated as the most fundamental way of reducing copyright infringement. The only hypothesis tested in the study revealed a significant difference in the perception of undergraduate students on copyright infringement based on their academic level with (Chi Cal. = 740.85, df=16, chi table= 26.30 at 0.05 level of significant difference). Upon these findings, the study recommends that author and publishers should try to reduce the cost of their textbooks. In addition, libraries in higher institutions should be well equipped with enough and relevant printed/literary resources. These should be readily available and accessible to the students when needed, in order to help reducing the rate of piracy and photocopying in higher institutions.

“…Librarians have typically been tasked with helping their faculty and students understand the intricacies of Copyright Law on their campuses, either through their liaison role or with instruction, as they can provide point-of-need instruction and expertise on copyright issues on their campuses (Rodriguez, Greer, & Shipman, 2014). The ACRL Framework emphasizes the importance of understanding intellectual property laws, as well as the purpose and characteristics of copyright, fair use, open access, and the public domain (American College & Research Libraries, 2016).…”

“…This may be framed within digital literacy instruction or media literacy instruction with fair use and creative commons concepts and resources. School librarians in the K12 setting have created many resources to help equip students to learn how to respect copyright and intellectual property rights, but there is a gap in the literature for how to do so in higher education (Rodriguez, Greer, & Shipman, 2014).…”

As students are asked to complete multimodal assignments in their higher education courses, librarians can guide students to the use of open educational resources (OER), as many librarians are already teaching students about copyright and how to respect intellectual property rights. Two instructional librarians designed a one-shot lesson for first-year composition students around the use of open resources, where the goal of instruction was for students to be empowered with their creative rights and to use the open resources available to them as creators.
