The copyright in videos that you might show from sites such as You Tube YouTube resides with the creator of the video, so you would need to obtain permission directly from them (YouTube cannot grant this on their behalf). Remember that the person who uploads a video to YouTube may not be the content owner. Some of these materials may be available for educational use or under a CC licence.

Although it is very easy to download images from the Internet and include them into your presentations, these images will almost certainly be subject to copyright, and unless you own the image yourself, we would not recommend you use images taken from the internet in your recorded lectures. Further information about sources of suitable images is available on the Multimedia resources page, aside from using images under the circumstances listed below.

Examples of ways that you can legally use images in your recorded lectures include:

  • Use images where the copyright has expired (e.g. public domain works)

  • Use images licensed under a Creative Commons (CC) licence – all CC licences mean the copyright owner must be attributed and there may be other restrictions on its use

  • Use images that are Open Educational Resources. You can search Jorum to find these resourcesSee the LSE Library copyright advice page for further details of Open Educational Resources (OERs).

  • Create your own images, take your own photographs

  • Obtain permission to use them from the copyright holder

  • Use images under a copyright exception, such as ‘quotation, criticism and review’ or ‘illustration for instruction’ provided the use is considered fair and you acknowledge the owner of the work.

Streamed audio from services such as the BBC iplayer Radio Sounds service may also be used in class and can be included in your recorded lectures under the ERA Licence.

Although it may be your work, you may have already signed away the copyright to this if you have had the research published by a journal. Any publishing agreement must be checked to see how the work can now be used.  In some cases you can use the pre-print version of the article, including the illustrations. Otherwise it may be possible to request for extracts of journal articles to be scanned via the Scanned reading service offered by the Library. Queries about the e-pack service should be directed to the Teaching Support team by emailing epacks@lse.ac.ukby LSE Library.
