Academic Copyright and Use of Learning Materials Policy

This Policy applies to anyone who designs, creates, reviews, approves, teaches, records, accesses, submits, or publishes academic material through LSI. It covers module development, teaching, learning, supervision, assessment, feedback, student support, research, and project work.

A person remains responsible for material they introduce into LSI’s work, even where it was first located, summarised, translated, adapted, or generated by another person or by technology.

This Policy applies to material in any format, including books, articles, reports, presentations, websites, photographs, artwork, diagrams, charts, maps, films, animations, broadcasts, music, podcasts, sound recordings, software, source code, databases, datasets, assessments, recorded teaching, translations, transcripts, social-media content, and AI-assisted outputs.

It applies whether material is printed or digital, freely accessible or subscription-based, published or unpublished, and whether it was created by a student, colleague, external author, or organisation.

The Policy applies when material is copied, scanned, photographed, downloaded, uploaded, embedded, emailed, adapted, translated, recorded, performed, displayed, distributed, entered into an AI service, or made available through the Automated Governance System (AGS), Virtual Learning Environment (VLE), or another School system.

It also applies when material developed for a secure learning environment is later used in a public presentation, portfolio, website, social-media post, commercial project, or promotional publication.

This Policy must be read alongside the Academic Misconduct Regulations, Artificial Intelligence Policy, Student Intellectual Property Policy, Teaching and Learning Policy, Assessment and Feedback Policy, Learning Resources and Facilities Policy, Free Speech and Academic Freedom Policy, Learning Support and Reasonable Adjustments Policy, Data Protection Policy, IT and Digital Safeguarding Policy, Research Ethics, Governance, and Prevent Compliance Code of Practice, Research Supervision Code of Conduct, and applicable contracts.

The requirements work together. Material may be properly licensed, but still amount to plagiarism if presented as original work. A screenshot may be permitted under copyright law, but remain unsuitable because it reveals personal or confidential information. A student may own their original project while having no ownership of third-party code, images, or data incorporated into it.

LSI provides its academic community with approved learning resources, such as a digital e-book service. These services give authorised users substantial capabilities for accessing information, supporting learning, and developing academic work, subject to their licenses and individual terms.

The permissions are resource-specific. LSI’s academic delivery is not based on blanket collective copying, broadcast, film, music, newspaper, or image licences. Third-party material should therefore be used through one or more of the following lawful routes:

• original creation;
• an authorised link;
• a suitable open or direct licence;
• express permission from the rights holder; or
• a statutory copyright exception, whose conditions are satisfied.

Numerical permissions published by other institutions under their own collective licences—including allowances expressed as a chapter, article or percentage—do not form part of LSI’s permissions.

Copyright normally arises automatically when a qualifying original work is created. The creator does not ordinarily need to register the work, display a copyright symbol, or charge for access.

Material may therefore remain protected even where it is freely available online, appears on social media, has no named author, contains no copyright notice, or can be downloaded easily. Buying or obtaining access to a copy does not ordinarily transfer copyright in the underlying work.

Subject to a licence or legal exception, the copyright owner may control copying, scanning, uploading, adapting, translating, distributing, performing, playing, showing, recording, and communicating a protected work.

Copyright can be infringed by using the whole work or a substantial part of it. ‘Substantiality’ concerns the quality and significance of what has been taken, as well as its size. A short passage, single image, conclusion, musical phrase, or important piece of code may be ‘substantial’ where it captures a distinctive or central part of the work.

Copyright and academic integrity are connected, but distinct.

‘Copyright’ asks whether there is a lawful basis for copying, adapting, uploading, or sharing material. ‘Academic integrity’ asks whether the source, authorship, and assistance have been represented honestly.

A source may be fully acknowledged, but still copied unlawfully. Conversely, material may be lawfully licensed, but constitute plagiarism if someone presents it as their own work. A copyright misunderstanding should not be classified automatically as academic misconduct, unless the circumstances also meet the relevant academic-integrity definition.

Copyright law permits certain limited uses without the owner’s permission. Exceptions relevant to LSI may include non-commercial research and private study, quotation, criticism or review, illustration for instruction, setting and answering examination questions, and making accessible-format copies.

Each exception has defined conditions. Depending on the exception, the use may need to be fair dealing, limited to a particular purpose, no greater than reasonably necessary, supported by sufficient acknowledgement, and undertaken by a person giving or receiving instruction. Some exceptions also require the work to have been made available to the public, or the activity to be non-commercial in purpose.

The expression ‘fair use’ should not be used as a general justification. English law applies particular copyright exceptions, several of which require fair dealing.

‘Fair dealing’ has no single numerical definition. The user should consider the purpose of the use, the amount taken, whether the material has already been lawfully made available, the significance of the part used and whether the use could replace a purchase, subscription, or authorised visit to the original.

A use is more likely to be fair where it is genuinely necessary for the academic purpose, is accompanied by analysis or instruction, is limited to the relevant audience, and does not undermine the normal market for the work. Repeated small extracts may need to be considered together where they effectively reconstruct or replace the original.

A protected work may be used for the sole purpose of illustrating a teaching point where the use is fair dealing, non-commercial in purpose, undertaken by a person giving or receiving instruction—or preparing to do so—and accompanied by sufficient acknowledgement.

Award-bearing, higher education teaching may fall within this exception, even though tuition fees are charged, because the relevant question concerns the purpose of the particular use. LSI will nevertheless apply the exception carefully. The material must genuinely explain, demonstrate, or reinforce learning.

The exception should not be relied upon automatically for consultancy, commercial client delivery, marketing, recruitment, or promotional activity.

A quotation or extract may be used where the work has been made available to the public, the use is fair, the amount is no more than the purpose requires, and sufficient acknowledgement is given.

Quotation may support explanation, comparison, and analysis. Criticism or review should engage with the work, or an issue connected with it. Merely reproducing material without an academic purpose, or meaningful commentary, is unlikely to be justified by these exceptions.

Students may make limited copies for their own non-commercial research or private study where the use is fair. This supports individual learning and investigation; it does not authorise a student or member of staff to make copies for an entire class or group.

Where the activity is research rather than private study, sufficient acknowledgement must be given. Platform conditions, data-protection duties, and technological access controls must also be respected.

Original explanation, analysis, activities, examples, visualisations, photographs, code, and demonstrations should be used wherever they can meet the academic purpose effectively.

Original creation does not mean ignoring scholarship. Sources should still be researched and cited, but the final expression should represent the author’s own academic contribution, rather than a reconstruction of another resource.

Where students or staff can access a resource lawfully, provide a stable link, digital object identifier, authorised embed, or clear directions to the source, instead of uploading a copy.

A link should lead to the rights holder, authorised publisher, approved digital resource, legitimate open-access repository, or another lawful source. Links should not be used where there is reason to believe that the destination is pirated, or designed to avoid payment or access controls.

The user must identify what the licence permits, who may use the material, whether adaptation is allowed, whether access must be restricted, how attribution must appear, and whether the licence limits commercial use or redistribution.

Terms such as “free”, “educational”, “royalty-free” or “available online” should not be treated as a licence, unless the relevant permission and conditions can be identified.

Where the proposed use is not adequately supported by a licence or statutory exception, written permission should be obtained from the rights holder. The request should identify the material, amount, purpose, audience, method of delivery, period of use, territory, and whether access will be secure or public.

Any fee or material restriction must be approved before LSI accepts it. Please speak to the Director of Education.

Before relying on an exception, the user should identify the particular exception and be able to explain why its conditions are met. For significant or recurring module content, this explanation must be recorded and shared with the Director of Education in writing.

The assessment should consider whether the source was accessed lawfully, whether the amount is necessary, whether the use is fair, whether acknowledgement has been provided, whether the audience is suitably restricted, and whether the material might replace authorised access.

Acknowledgement should identify, as appropriate, the creator, title, publisher or platform, date, source, rights holder, licence, and any alteration made. Images, diagrams, tables, clips, and code should normally be credited near the item rather than only in a general bibliography.

Acknowledgement remains necessary even where material is openly licensed. It does not, on its own, provide permission to copy.

Each module must maintain a proportionate record of significant third-party material, which must be shared with the Director of Education. The record should show what the item is, where it appears, its source, the lawful basis for use, the acknowledgement supplied, and any restrictions or review dates.

Ordinary academic citations do not need to be duplicated where the module already records them adequately. Particular attention should be given to images, multimedia, code, datasets, substantial quotations, and material used under express permission or a statutory exception.

A user can normally proceed where the material is their own original work, is owned by LSI, has been commissioned with suitable rights, is linked from an authorised source, is clearly in the public domain, is covered by a suitable open licence, or is supported by written permission for the proposed use.

Any attribution, privacy, confidentiality, or licence conditions must still be followed.

Closer consideration is required for quotations relied upon under fair dealing, complete images used for analysis, brief audiovisual extracts, website screenshots, adapted open content, repeated extracts from the same work, material under a NonCommercial or NoDerivatives licence, and content moving from a secure environment to public use.

The user should document the reason for significant or recurring uses, and seek guidance where the position remains uncertain.

Specific permission or approval is required from the Director of Education before undertaking activities such as uploading complete publisher files, scanning readings for a cohort, reconstructing a publication through multiple extracts, downloading and re-uploading commercial films or music, adding commercial music to recorded content, sharing subscription files, removing rights notices, bypassing access controls, uploading substantial third-party works to an AI service, or publishing restricted course content externally.

Material should not be copied merely because another institution uses it or because no rights holder is readily identifiable.

Module content should predominantly contain original explanation, analysis, examples, learning activities and commentary produced for the approved module.

An author must not incorporate work owned by a previous employer, university, publisher, or client, unless they have retained the necessary rights. The same applies to confidential information, jointly created work, unpublished material, and content taken from another course. Authors reusing their own published work must check whether they transferred copyright, or accepted restrictions, under a publishing agreement.

All authors must comply with the intellectual-property, originality, confidentiality, and warranty provisions of their LSI agreement.

Required and recommended readings should normally be provided through a direct link to the approved e-book service, an authorised publisher page, a legitimate open-access repository, or another approved lawful source.

An individual user’s ability to read or download an item does not ordinarily authorise its incorporation into the VLE. Downloaded e-books, publisher PDFs, scanned chapters, and complete articles must not be uploaded unless an applicable licence, express permission, or specific legal basis clearly authorises that use.

Brief extracts may be included where they are genuinely required for quotation, criticism, review, or illustration for instruction, and all relevant conditions are satisfied.

A quotation must have a defined academic purpose, come from a lawfully accessed source, use no more than reasonably necessary, be distinguished clearly from the author’s own words, and be supported by suitable acknowledgement.

The academic author should explain, compare, apply, question, or analyse the extract. Where a paraphrase and link can meet the purpose equally well, that will often be the stronger approach for permanent asynchronous content.

There is no automatic permitted word count, page count, or percentage.

Original, commissioned, openly licensed, or expressly permitted visuals, should be used wherever practicable. A protected visual may be included under a statutory exception where it is necessary to explain, criticise, or analyse the visual, or to illustrate a specific teaching point.

Where a protected visual is justified, it must be acknowledged, presented only at the quality reasonably required, kept within the appropriate audience, and accompanied by the relevant teaching or analysis. Any alteration should be identified and must respect the creator’s moral rights.

Redrawing, recolouring, translating labels, or cropping a visual, does not necessarily make it an independent work.

For online teaching, authorised links and embeds should be used wherever possible so that students access films, videos, podcasts, and recordings through the legitimate source.

Complete commercial films, programmes, music tracks, and sound recordings, must not be downloaded, uploaded, recorded, or transmitted to students without specific authority. Personal streaming subscriptions must not be used to provide collective access.

A brief extract may be included where it is necessary for illustration, quotation, criticism, or review, the use is fair, the source is acknowledged, and the material remains within the appropriate teaching audience. Commercial music must not be added as background, introduction, or atmosphere to recorded teaching, or promotional material, without an appropriate licence.

LSI will not treat the statutory exception for showing or playing works within a physical educational establishment as general authority for recorded or on-demand online communication.

Before a lecture, webinar, or demonstration is recorded, the responsible author must review the slides, images, audio, video, software interfaces, student contributions, and other third-party material likely to appear.

Material that may be suitable for a live explanation may need to be paused, removed, replaced, or linked separately, before a recording is retained for asynchronous access. Speakers and participants must also be informed about the recording and its intended use in accordance with LSI’s privacy and consent requirements.

An assessment may contain a third-party extract where candidates need it to understand or answer the question. The extract must be necessary, proportionate, and made available only to authorised candidates, markers, and examiners. Acknowledgement should be provided.

A separate rights review is required before the same material is published as a sample assessment, placed in a public repository, used for recruitment, or made available outside the secure assessment process.

Students may access approved learning resources through their individual accounts, make personal notes, and download or print material, where the service terms and law permit.

Material obtained for private study must not be placed in a shared folder, distributed to classmates, posted online, sold, uploaded to an AI service in substantial form, or otherwise used outside the purpose for which it was supplied.

Students should use authorised links when recommending a source to others, rather than distributing their downloaded copy.

Students may quote, discuss, and analyse another person’s work where it is relevant to the assessment. Copied words must be identified as quotations, sources must be cited in the required academic style and images, code, datasets, figures, and other media must be acknowledged.

Only the amount reasonably needed should be included. The student’s own analysis, judgement, and application must remain central to the submission. Relevant sources, drafts, and AI records should be retained where required by the assessment or School policy.

Students must not present another person’s words, analysis, images, code, data, design, translation, media, or AI-assisted output as their own.

Where an error arises from unfamiliarity with academic conventions, it may be addressed as poor academic practice. Deliberate, or serious misrepresentation, may be considered under the Academic Misconduct Regulations. A fully acknowledged copyright concern should not be called plagiarism, unless the academic-integrity definition is also met.

LSI learning materials are supplied to support the student’s registered programme. Module text, presentations, recorded content, assessment questions, model answers, feedback, subscription resources, discussion-board content, and other material must not be published, sold, or circulated outside the authorised learning environment.

This applies to social media, messaging groups, extending beyond the authorised cohort, public repositories, commercial study platforms, file-sharing services, and AI systems.

Students may create and discuss their own non-verbatim notes and learning reflections, provided these do not reproduce a substantial part of protected course content, or disclose confidential information.

Members of an authorised assessment group may exchange material where it has been obtained lawfully, the sharing is permitted, and it is required for the group activity.

The group should identify external sources, distinguish original from third-party contributions, and acknowledge and preserve licence and attribution details. A member’s individual access to a subscription resource does not necessarily permit them to distribute the downloaded file to other members.

A project submitted privately for assessment may require additional rights before it is published, demonstrated to an employer, entered into a competition, shared with a partner, used to establish a business or commercialised.

Before wider use, the student must review third-party text, images, code, software libraries, datasets, models, music, video, branding, participant contributions, and AI-assisted content. Original and openly licensed resources should be selected early wherever possible.

Ownership of student-created intellectual property is governed by the Student Intellectual Property Policy.

A student’s ownership of their original contribution does not extend to protected material belonging to another person. Any rights granted to LSI, exceptions concerning funded or commissioned work, and arrangements for collaborative projects, remain governed by the existing policy and applicable agreements.

Public accessibility does not place website or social-media content outside copyright. Users should normally link to the original page, or use the platform’s authorised sharing or embedding tools.

A screenshot may be included where the appearance of a website, interface, or post is genuinely necessary to the academic purpose. It should show only the relevant content, identify the source and date, and remove unnecessary personal or confidential information.

Private posts, restricted accounts, and material concerning identifiable or vulnerable individuals require particular care. Research use may also require ethical approval or consent.

Code and technical documentation must be used in accordance with their applicable proprietary or open-source licence. Users must retain required copyright and licence notices, identify external dependencies, and comply with conditions governing modification, redistribution, source disclosure, and compatible licensing.

Code that can be viewed publicly should not be described as open source, unless an identifiable open-source licence applies. Proprietary, confidential, or employer-owned code must not be copied into LSI work without authority. Please speak to the Director of Education if further support is needed.

AI-generated code must be reviewed for security, accuracy, recognisable third-party elements, and possible licence conflicts.

Before using data, the user must identify the source, licence, version, and permitted purposes. Restrictions may apply to extraction, redistribution, commercial use, and the creation of derived datasets.

Facts may not be protected in the same way as their particular expression, but a database may attract copyright in its selection or arrangement and a separate database right arising from substantial investment. Repeated extraction of smaller portions may be restricted where it effectively reconstructs a protected database.

Personal, confidential, or sensitive data must also be handled under the applicable data-protection and research-ethics requirements. Please see the Research Ethics, Governance, and Prevent Compliance Code of Practice.

A logo may be shown proportionately where necessary to identify or discuss an organisation. It must not be used in a manner suggesting sponsorship, partnership, or endorsement where none exists.

Prominent use in public, commercial, partnership or promotional material must comply with the organisation’s brand guidance, or be supported by permission.

Before recording an interview, webinar, consultation, or guest contribution, the organiser must explain the purpose, audience, period of availability, editing arrangements, and intended future use. Appropriate consent or release must be obtained and retained.

The contributor’s permission to record does not automatically clear rights in their employer’s slides, embedded images, music, videos or other material.

Translation, redrawing, rearrangement, editing, or conversion into another format may remain an act of copying or adaptation. Changing colours, labels, language, dimensions, or file type, does not necessarily create an independent work.

Where possible, users should return to lawfully obtained facts, ideas, or principles, and create a genuinely original expression. The intellectual source should still be acknowledged.

The exact licence and version must be checked for the particular work. As a practical guide:

• CC0 permits very broad reuse, although academic acknowledgement remains good practice.
• CC BY generally permits reuse and adaptation with attribution.
• CC BY-SA generally requires adaptations to be distributed under the same or a compatible licence.
• CC BY-ND generally prevents distribution of an adapted version.
• CC BY-NC restricts use to purposes falling within the licence’s meaning of non-commercial.

Material carrying a Non-Commercial licence should not be incorporated into LSI course content automatically. Approval should be obtained, unless the rights holder or reliable licence guidance clearly confirms that the intended use is permitted.

A publication’s open licence may exclude particular photographs, diagrams, logos, or other third-party material contained within it. Please read the open licence carefully.   

A work should be treated as public domain only where its status has been checked with reasonable confidence. Age, anonymous authorship, archive display, or an unsupported online label is not sufficient by itself.

Material expressly made available under the Open Government Licence may be reused in accordance with its attribution requirements. Users must check for excluded third-party content, logos, personal information, and other rights.

Written permission must be retained with the module or project record and shared with the Director of Education. The user must comply with any conditions concerning attribution, duration, audience, territory, adaptation, and security.

Permission for one purpose should not be assumed to cover another. Secure teaching, access, public publication, and commercial development may each require different rights.

The rights position must be reviewed where permission expires, a resource changes platform, licence terms are amended, the audience expands, content becomes public, a project becomes commercial, or a module is substantially refreshed. Please keep the Director of Education updated.

Material whose lawful basis has ended, or become unclear must be replaced, renewed or removed.

Uploading material to an AI system may involve making a copy and disclosing it to a service provider. Lawful access to the original does not automatically authorise those additional acts.

A limited extract may be used only where the user can identify a suitable licence, permission, or properly considered statutory basis, and where the use complies with LSI’s AI and data-protection requirements.

An output must not be assumed to be original, accurate, properly sourced, free from third-party rights, or suitable for unrestricted publication. Any rights granted by the approved service remain subject to applicable law and the rights of other people.

Before using an output, the user must review its accuracy, verify its references, inspect code and media, consider whether any expression appears recognisably copied, and replace material whose provenance is uncertain. The user remains responsible for the final work.

Where an AI output identifies, or appears to rely on a particular publication, author, dataset, or other source, the original source must be consulted, verified, and cited directly. New AI use must be disclosed in accordance with the Artificial Intelligence Policy and the requirements of the assessment or activity.

AI summarisation or paraphrasing must not be used to disguise close copying, avoid attribution, or create references that have not been checked.

AI may support content development if permitted by LSI. The academic author must provide the substantive intellectual direction, verify accuracy and currency, check sources and copyright, review third-party rights, inspect generated code and media, remove fabricated or uncertain material, and adapt the work to the approved module specification.

The approved AI service must not be used to reproduce or closely imitate another’s work or institution’s course. Prompts, outputs, decisions, and disclosures must be retained in accordance with the Artificial Intelligence Policy, and shared with LSI when requested.

Where a disabled student requires a different format, LSI will consider whether it or the student has lawful access to the source, whether a suitable accessible version is already available, which copyright exception or licence applies, and what adaptation is reasonably necessary.

Accessible copies may include screen-readable text, large print, Braille, audio, captions, transcripts, audio description, or an adapted layout. Copies made under a disability exception must be supplied and retained only within the conditions of that exception.

Original content should use structured headings, meaningful links, alternative text, accessible tables, captions, transcripts, readable contrast, selectable text, and accessible document formats.

Inaccessible scanned material and images containing substantial text should be avoided where an accessible original or lawful alternative can meet the purpose.

A copyright concern must not be used to refuse an adjustment without considering lawful alternatives. These may include another edition, a licensed accessible version, publisher assistance, an open substitute, an equivalent resource, or a different learning activity meeting the same outcome.

Students should not be expected to resolve the School’s rights or access arrangements themselves.

Please contact the Head of Student Services for further support.

This Policy does not prevent lawful criticism, review, quotation, comparison, research, or discussion of controversial, harmful, unpopular or challenging works and ideas.

A work can be described and discussed without reproducing it. Where direct reproduction is necessary to the academic purpose, the justified amount may be used in accordance with the relevant licence or statutory exception.

Copyright questions must be assessed by reference to ownership, licence, purpose, amount, audience, market effect, legal exception, and available alternatives. A viewpoint must not receive less favourable treatment because it is controversial, critical, or unpopular.

Where too much material has been copied, the preferred response should ordinarily be to reduce the extract, add a link, obtain permission, replace the item, or correct its acknowledgement, rather than remove the underlying academic argument. Please contact the Director of Education for further support.

Material lawfully used within a secure teaching or assessment context must not automatically be transferred to a public website, social-media account, open event, advertisement, prospectus, public repository, or commercial presentation.

Guidance from the Director of Education should be sought before publication where a central or substantial part of a work is proposed, the use will be public, a licence is unclear, a NonCommercial or NoDerivatives term applies, film or music is involved, material will remain in an asynchronous module, the owner cannot be identified, a project may become commercial, or an AI output closely resembles existing work.

A person raising a concern should identify the material, its location, the suspected rights holder, the nature of the concern, and any supporting information available. Specialist legal language is not required. The Director of Education will consider the matter objectively and will not presume either infringement or misconduct merely because a concern has been raised.

Where a credible concern is identified, LSI may temporarily restrict access, replace a copy with a link, suspend distribution, or remove public visibility, while reviewing ownership, source, licence, permission, purpose, amount, audience, accessibility, and available alternatives.

Temporary restriction is a neutral protective measure and does not amount to a finding of infringement, misconduct, or liability.

A concern may be resolved by correcting attribution, reducing an extract, replacing a file with a link, using an open resource, obtaining permission, restricting the audience, removing the item, updating the Copyright and Sources Record, or providing further guidance.

An isolated good-faith mistake should normally be addressed promptly and constructively. Any effect on an assessment must be considered separately under the Academic Misconduct Regulations.

Serious, deliberate, or repeated misuse may be considered under the applicable Academic Misconduct Regulations, Student Disciplinary Policy, staff procedure, adjunct or contractor agreement, data-protection requirements, or IT regulations.

Any response must take account of intention, seriousness, scale, audience, previous guidance, impact, cooperation, promptness of correction, and whether a distinct academic, contractual, or disciplinary breach has been established.

Staff and adjunct faculty responsible for creating or approving academic content must receive access to this policy before their first content creation. This covers LSI’s digital-resource model, linking, quotations, fair dealing, images, audiovisual material, open licences, AI inputs and outputs, and accessibility.

Students must receive access to policies on copyright, academic integrity, AI use, personal study, responsible use of learning resources, and public sharing. Relevant expectations should be reinforced through modules and assessment instructions.

Every scheduled module review or substantial content refresh must consider broken links, changed terms, expired permissions, attribution, accessibility, third-party media, AI-assisted additions, and any restricted material that has become publicly available.

Content lacking a current lawful basis must be corrected, renewed, replaced, or removed before republication.

This Policy will be reviewed at least annually and earlier where there is a material change in copyright or AI law, OfS requirements, LSI’s delivery model, approved services, institutional licences, significant concerns, or relevant sector practice.

Amendments must follow LSI’s established arrangements for policy approval and publication.

Before publishing, uploading or submitting material, ask:

1. Did I create it, and do I have the right to use it?
2. Can I link to the authorised source rather than make another copy?
3. What licence, permission, or particular copyright exception supports the use?
4. Am I using no more than the academic purpose reasonably requires?
5. Have I acknowledged the creator, source, and licence?
6. Could my use replace a purchase, subscription, or authorised visit to the original?
7. Is the material limited to the correct audience and period?
8. Have I protected personal, confidential, and restricted information?
9. Have I recorded the basis for any significant, or recurring third-party material?
10. Would the position change if the work became public, promotional, or commercial?
