Using Australian Standards
Best practice for Australian Standards
- Link to Australian Standards, do not try to download and provide (or send) as a file.
- To minimise barriers to access, encourage students in your course to register an account with the i2i platform and check their access to Australian Standards as soon as possible.
- While downloaded Standards files have usage restrictions, advise students that they can download and/or print a copy for their own later use (the current DRM 'checks in' with the files for access).
- Where use of a Standard is essential to successful completion of an assessment, provide a link to the Library’s User Guide to Australian Standards (PDF) to help students to successfully access the platform.
- While some Australian Standards content may be reproducible under the Educational Statutory Licence (S113P), there are restrictions on use. You should therefore limit the amount of content you reproduce in course materials or record in sessions. You will also need to provide source/referencing information and a copyright notice as with other materials used under S113P.
