Your Responsibilities
Copyright is an important consideration for all staff and students of Charles Sturt University.

access by users. CSU is committed to observing copyright law and upholding the rights of creators
and users. CSU subscribes to a number of licences that allow the use of copyright materials
provided the conditions are observed.

copy and electronic, of literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works, and to communicate them for the
educational purposes of the institution provided the University complies with certain conditions and

Screenrights Licence (Part VA of the Copyright Act 1968) allows the University to copy and
communicate material recorded from Australian radio and television as well as material that has been
