Copyright Laws
The BYU Salt Lake Center expects its instructors and students to follow US copyright law when creating course content and completing class assignments. All instructors and students are strongly encouraged to complete the copyright certification program (CCP) provided by the Copyright Licensing Office. 

Although the fair use law allows many copyrighted items to be used in an instructional setting, there are times when permission must be obtained from the copyright holder before a resource may be used. Instructors may contact the BYU Copyright Licensing Office for help in obtaining copyright clearance and for any other copyright questions. 

The Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) is a 1974 federal law that protects the privacy of student education records. It outlines the rights of students who attend a postsecondary school like Brigham Young University. This includes the right to inspect and review education records, to seek to have records amended, and to have some control over the disclosure of information from the records. Because of federal privacy laws, the BYU Salt Lake Center cannot give student information to a third party unless the student has authorized that person through Guest Access.

For more information about FERPA, please see BYU’s Records Privacy (FERPA) website and complete the Workday "FERPA for Faculty" training.

When the required textbook and course materials for a class have been chosen, instructors must place an order with the BYU Store. All orders are submitted online at booklist.byu.edu. All materials that contribute to student expenses must be submitted to the BYU Store, even if it will not be the reseller of the material. This includes textbooks, packets, CDs, DVDs, e-books, access codes, etc. If you have questions about ordering textbooks and course materials for a class to be taught at the BYU Salt Lake Center, please contact your department.

Faculty may schedule and set up an exam by going to testing.byu.edu. See links below for step-by-step tutorials.

The BYU Salt Lake Center library is a branch of BYU’s Harold B. Lee Library (HBLL). We offer a computer lab complete with databases and resources available on and off campus. Students and faculty may check out materials at the HBLL or request that they be sent to the BYU Salt Lake Center through interlibrary loan.

Library Instruction
Library instruction is a required component of First-Year Writing and Advanced Writing classes at BYU. These classes include WRTG 150, ENGL 311–316, and MCOM 320. Instruction is designed to teach students how to use library tools to perform college level research. Course instructors should contact the librarian, Amy Bernards, to set a time for this instruction to take place. Subject-specific research instruction (e.g. for BIO 100 or SFL 351 assignments) is also offered.

Technology Assistance
Library and Computer Lab staff can assist faculty members with technology issues, such as problems with classroom computers and projectors and connecting to Wi-Fi. They are also available to teach faculty members how to use the technology found in the classroom and the library. Feel free to drop by at any time or set up an appointment at slc-library@byu.edu or 801-933-9421.

Laptop Computers and Adapters Instructors can check out laptop computers from the library for use in class. The library has a variety of adapters and power cables for instructors who use their own laptops.

We have gathered some resources to help you in the transition from a traditional classroom to a hybrid, remote, or virtual classroom. If you need technical assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at 801-933-9421 or slc-library@byu.edu.
