Anyone who plans on incorporating a COMPLETE copyrighted work (e.g., a journal article, photograph, table, map, diagram, graph, figure or poem) or a SUBSTANTIAL PORTION of a copyrighted work into a thesis, online course or the E-Reserve system must have the permission of the copyright holder to do so. Adapting or modifying a work requires permission as well. In these instances, citing material is not enough.
