Welcome to JISC Casper

The copyright advice & support project for JISC e-learning resources

JISC CASPER will be supporting the 19 projects funded as part of RepRODUCE (Repurposing & reuse of digital University-level content and evaluation) as they engage with all of the issues related to IPR and copyright.

JISC CASPER will be:

capturing their experiences - good and bad
guiding the projects to the wealth of rights related materials currently available and helping them apply it in their projects
developing new materials as required
undertaking rights clearance centrally when it makes sense by saving time and money for all
helping to build capacity in the sector

All of the case studies and materials developed as part of JISC CASPER will be made available to the wider JISC community (some already are) on an ongoing basis both from this web site and by their deposition in JORUM.

Knowing what you can do with content from university web sites

It is recognised that though the licensing of electronic resources is essential for many resources, the time and cost involved in the negotiations and legal work, can in the case of low cost resources mean more money is being spent on lawyers than the content itself. As a result NISO (the American National Information Standards Organisation) [...]
