In the field of education, copyrighted works are not considerably distributed via an electronic medium in a face-to-face class. In many cases, they are distributed via a paper medium. It is thought that the rule, which is shown as a part corresponding to the first clause of article 35 of the copyright law, makes it difficult to distribute the copyrighted work via an electronic medium. This guideline prescribes the condition for the reproduction of a copyrighted work in a school and other educational institutions. As a method to solve the problem, there is a system that considers copyright protection in the field of education at the time of distributing the copyrighted work via an electronic medium. However, in this system, there are some problems. First, it is pointed out that this system is not user friendly. Then, it is pointed out that the system is not easily manageable for a network administrator. To solve these problems, we applied a DACS portal to the system, and thus improved the system. The DACS portal is a system realized by a function for displaying static documents dynamically on a network introducing the DACS Scheme that manages the entire network by communication control on a client computer. As a result, it becomes possible to acquire the copyrighted work via an electric medium, and the system is more user friendly than the earlier one. In addition, this system is easy for the network administrator to manage. For example, changing the network configuration becomes unnecessary.
