Bolk
Register Book Excerpts for Rights Clearance and make Coursepacks
The Kopinor Higher education licence requires curriculum and other necessary learning material in the form of book excerpts to be registered for clearance in Bolk when it is copied and made available for the students.
Bolk can also be used to put together and order coursepacks to share with the students on Canvas. The students get the content as PDF files without copy restrictions, for use in their studies.
The Kopinor Higher education licence requires curriculum and other necessary learning material in the form of book excerpts to be registered for clearance in Bolk when it is copied and made available for the students. This applies even if the excerpts will not be included in a coursepack. If the excerpt exceeds 15%, it will entail a cost for the faculty.
Bolk can also be used to create digital coursepacks to share with the students on Canvas. You select the content in Bolk by searching for title, author or ISBN among the six million titles in the database. It is also possible to edit a previously compiled coursepack. After the title is chosen, the actual excerpts are selected by entering the page numbers, and the excerpt will be added to the list of content. If the content exists in Bolk the file will be provided at no extra cost. It is also possible to upload your own files. When all selected excerpts are cleared, and Bolk has all the content in place, the coursepack file will be delivered instantly. The pdf-file, including front page and index, is ready to be uploaded to Canvas.
