CGI Scripts

Users may run cgi scripts on their website. See CGI Access for more information.

Obtaining a Link to Group Pages from the Campus Web

If your pages are on www.unc.edu
The Information Coordinator for your group can send a Help Request requesting a link. They will be notified by email when the link has been made.

If your pages are NOT on www.unc.edu
You will need to send a letter requesting a link from the Campus Web, on letterhead, from the department chair, organization president, administrative unit director, or leader of the group. This letter should clearly state the name of the group (department, organization, etc.), the type of group (academic department, research group, materials for a course, etc.), and the name and personal userid of the designated Web Information Coordinator.

Also include that the group has reviewed its web pages, finds them satisfactory, and would like a link made to the groups pages from the Campus Web, as well as a description of the procedures for reviewing and updating the group's web pages. Please suggest a page where the link is to be made and specify the URL to be linked. The Web Information Coordinator will be notified by email when the link has been made.

Copyright

It's recommended to always get permission before including copyrighted text, photographs, audio, video, or other media in your Web pages and keep a copy of that permission, preferably on paper. No permission is required for anything in the public domain. Notice of copyright is not required, but it's a good idea to include a copyright notice to remind people. Use the registered trademark symbol (®) to show use of registered trademarks.

Please see the Infringement on Intellectual Properties Policy.

Photographs and Audio/Video Clips

When you ask persons to participate in a photo, audio, or video shoot for use on the campus web or printed documents, before you record anything, ask them to sign a standard University Release Form. Exceptions are general campus shots, for example, Polk Place or the Pit.

For seminars, meetings, and workshops, indicate on the registration material that recordings (photos, audio, video) may be taken and used in publications, printed and/or online, and registering connotes permission to use the images.

Please direct any other questions to the University Legal Counsel.
