Fair Use Best Practices
• Refer to your institutional policy. • Refer to the license terms, if any. • Link out to content rather than downloading a copy.• Remember that material on the Internet may not have
been posted in accordance with copyright guidelines. • Document your fair use decisions. • Cite your sources and include copyright ownership
information if original source includes it. • Use only the portion required for educational purposes.• Exercise your fair use rights to the fullest extent.
Claiming copyright for your work
What must I do to claim copyright as a
creator?•Create an “original” work
•Fix it in a “tangible medium” of expression
For additional protection…
•Place a copyright notice on your work to protect against claims of “innocent infringement”.

•Register your work with the Copyright Office of the Library of Congress (fee charged).
Is your work “made for hire?”

Scenario 1:
An instructor uploads a copy of large sections of a recently-published book into the course management system to use for a required reading. Only current students of that institution can access it via a password. The same excerpt is used semester after semester.
Scenario 2:
A teacher creates a short tutorial using Camtasia, and uses an image from a licensed database that the school owns. She makes the tutorial available on the open Internet.
Scenario 3:
A media literacy professor uses a clip from the movie Aladdin to analyze media representation of the Middle East. She embeds the clip in the password-protected course management system.
Scenario 4:
A librarian digitizes the entire DVD of the movie, Traffic, and stores it on the password-protected campus media distribution system. After the class views it, the librarian leaves it on the system. Now, anyone at the University with a password can view the DVD.
