- What about copyright?
In order to contribute material to ScholarWorks, you must own or control the copyright to the material or have obtained permission from the copyright holder to add it to ScholarWorks. The ScholarWorks team will review the copyright status of previously published works as part of the submission process and will assist in determining whether your publisher will permit the work to be posted to an institutional repository.
Prior to your material being uploaded, you will be asked to grant Seattle University a non-exclusive, irrevocable license to indicate that you are willing to allow the ScholarWorks team to use the material for the purpose of preserving and making your work available on the repository. This means that you cannot withdraw permission for ScholarWorks to include the material in the repository, but that you (or the copyright holder) retain your rights in the material and may allow it to appear on other websites or publications.
Please contact Yen Tran at scholarworks@seattleu.edu with questions or concerns about copyright and ScholarWorks.
