på svenska 

Do you as a researcher get frequent invitations to publish in journals you’ve never heard of?

Was your manuscript rejected and now you are looking for a new journal?

The library and LiU E-press has developed a new digital service that will help you get a first idea of the seriousness, visibility and ranking of a journal, as well as information on publishing fees and possible discounts. Go to LiU Journal CheckUp.

On the library site there is even more useful information to help you Publish strategically.

Anther useful site is Think Check Submit which contains a checklist for evaluating journals.

And you can of course always contact us for advice and support biblioteket@liu.se

Using and sharing other’s work when in distance mode. Bonus copyright access agreement.

Bonus copyright access agreement in distance mode

As a teacher you probably know that thanks to the agreement between Swedish higher education and Bonus copyright access, the rights holders’ organization, we are able to use and share copyright protected material in our teaching and lecturing.

But how does this work in the distance mode we are now in? What are we allowed to do and what can we not do when working and meeting our students digitally?

The agreement gives us the right to use both Swedish and international copyrighted material from web pages, electronic publications, the press, printed books and other material that has been made public.

In this distance mode when we work remotely you and your students can use this material within a closed, pass word- protected, network, such as Lisam, which is only available to faculty, staff and students.

Students and teachers can for educational purposes, in an educational context:

  • scan
  • save digitally
  • post and share in a closed network (like Lisam)
  • display on screen
  • share via e-mail

There are limitations; the 15/15 rule applies even here. You can copy and share 15 %, but not more than 15 pages, from one and the same printed book, per student per calendar half-year. You can copy material corresponding to 15 A4 pages from one and the same digital publication per student per term. For electronic publications the same applies for material corresponding to a maximum of 15 A4 pages. Other agreements are required to use recorded music, films, radio and TV programmes. When it comes to publisher-produced compulsory course literature the 15/15 rule applies, besides this you can copy a small section for a powerpoint or prezi presentation and you are allowed to copy a small section for use in an examinating task

Do not forget to cred and quote as usual

Remember that authors and photographers always own the moral rights and must be quoted with name and from where you have copied the material.

Read more about the  Bonus copyright agreement here: http://en.bonuscopyright.se/pages/HigherEducationInstitutions

You can also use material licensed with Creative commons license, e.g. such texts published Open access, where the author decides how a piece of work can be used by others.

Information regarding your loans and books

* The loan period for reference copies of textbooks (“Day-loan items”) is extended to 3 days.

* Regular loan period for reference copies of textbooks from Monday 10 August (i.e. you have to return a day-loan item the same day you borrow it). Temporary suspension of fines for late return of reference copies ends.

* We are increasing the number of possible renewals, in order to help our users to avoid unnecessary visits to the library. Students can now renew their loans ut to 15 times; LiU-staff can renew their loans up to 25 times -provided that the books are not requested by another borrower.

* Returning loans: If you have access to the building (LiU-card) you can use the usual facilities for returning loans. It is also possible to mail books (in a padded envelope) to: Linköpings universitetsbibliotek,  581 83 Linköping

* At Valla Library, you can now return library items outside Studenthuset’s opening hours. At the south side of the building (facing Key building), there are two grey post boxes where you can drop your library books.

* No fines for late return of library books. From March 17th the library will not charge fines or send new invoices. You are thus not forced to come to the library if your only errand is returning a library book. This is a temporary measure to mitigate the diffusion of the corona virus. Existing fine charges are still valid, but no new fine charges are executed. Special rules apply to inter library loans. It goes without saying that we expect you to return books if you are able.

* From the start of the autumn term, we will return to regular routines regarding fines and invoices. Therefore, make sure to check the due-date on books you have borrowed over the summer and return the ones you no longer need. If you are unsure about the due-date of your books, you can always find out at “My Loans”:
https://www2.bibl.liu.se/mina_lan/default.aspx?lang=eng

* Automatic renewals. From April 1st, library loans will be renewed automatically. This means that, when possible, a new 21 day loan period will be set automatically when your loan expires. Please note that “Day-loan items”, interlibrary loans and material requested by other borrowers will not be automatically renewed.
When a loan is automatically renewed, you will not receive any message from the library asking you to renew your loan. This is done in order to prevent all unnecessary visits to the library, due to the corona crisis.
