Follow fair use guidelines
Establishing fair use guidelines has become more crucial in this era of new learning environments where so much information is available electronically.
Web users often assume that works on the Internet can be freely used and reproduced. This is not true. Many works available on the Web are protected by copyright.
Under fair use guidelines, students and educators can incorporate portions of copyrighted works when producing their own projects for educational and non-commercial purposes such as criticism, comment, teaching, scholarship, and research. There are limitations about how much information can be reproduced and what type of work is being used.
