Special Circumstances

Conference Presentations

Papers that have been presented at EDUCAUSE or EDUCAUSE–affiliated events are the intellectual property of the presenters/authors, even though they are published on the EDUCAUSE website.

Permission to print or disseminate all or part of such papers is granted provided that the copies are not made or distributed for commercial advantage and that the title and authors of the paper appear on the printouts. To copy or disseminate otherwise, or to republish in any form, requires written permission from the authors.

To locate an author or presenter, try using the EDUCAUSE Member Directory feature of this website. Many authors/presenters are EDUCAUSE members and can be found through this information service.

Publications (including EDUCAUSE Review)

• Authors retain the copyright to their intellectual content, with EDUCAUSE owning the copyright to the physical presentation (whether as an article, a book, or a monograph).
• Authors retain the right to publish their material elsewhere, providing that the original EDUCAUSE publication is acknowledged. Others will need to contact authors to obtain permission for reprinting or distribution.
• EDUCAUSE has the right to edit the material to meet the association's standards.
