**Development and Review of Copyright Resources**
This site includes the latest information regarding //copyright// laws and regulations. I found it useful by reading the article [|Do you need to send a copy of your online works to the Copyright Office for Deposit] The answer to the question is that the Copyright Office gives “a qualified exemption to a mandatory copyright deposit requirement for online works published in the United States. The exemption does not apply to online works that are also published in physical form.” 2. Montclair.edu: http://www.montclair.edu/media/montclairedu/library/bboard_copyright.pdf --Joe Robinson This site can also be found on www.blackboard.com under copyright and fair use. What I like about this site is that it is an excellent summary of copyright and fair use without having to review a lot of other material. It outlines the do's and don'ts in a very detailed manner. It is a quick reference guide for a faculty member. Also included at the end of the document are links to other sites that could also provide information. REVIEW--I reviewed the Montclair.edu website. It appears simplistic, direct, and right to the point. Blaine Long REVIEW - I also reviewed the Montclair.edu and particularly appreciated the suggested length of items to consider to prevent plagiarism - every tip helps. Like Blaine, I found it simple to use, easy to find information and easy to understand. Jill Rohrbacker 3. http://www.copyright.gov and http://fairuse.stanford.edu/Copyright_and_Fair_Use_Overview/chapter0/index.html --Blaine Long This is the .gov web page that addresses many of our copyright questions. The second URL provides additional questions that may assist in answering some unknown copyright and fair use questions. REVIEW of the copyright.gov cite. Very simply, if you really want to understand the copyright process go "straight to the horses mouth" (although copyright frustrations may make it feel like the other end of the horse). This is **the** cite, the original, the only and straight from the copyright office. It's hard to argue with this information but it's also lengthy and can at times create more questions than answers. Luckily they have several shortcuts in way of brochures and fact sheets. Jill Rohrbacker 4. This cite from [|Columbia University] demonstrates many of the items we have reviewed specifically for posting online classes. It speaks to Fair Use and includes a copyright developments of interest area which is, well, interesting. The "scenarios" link does not work and is how I accidentally found the interest areas by hitting the home page. Jill Rohrbacker 5. [|Copyright and Fair Use For Educators] was developed by Roland Park Country School. It is in a power point format which makes the presentation a bit different and in a summary format. What I appreciate most is the table they provide (slide #18) on copyright for teacher which gives a rundown on the good, the bad, and the ugly. Jill Rohrbacker REVIEW : The Copyright and Fair Use for Educators was a concise power point that touched on important points, gave precise definitions without including jargon, embedded links for more information and provided a flowchart to determine whether or not one should use the material under the purview of the law. I found it very easy to understand and thought it would be useful for students and teachers that are new to these issues and need basic information in a friendly format. Leslie Baldwin 6. I found this fair use checklist from Columbia University which lists activities that would favor fair use or oppose it so one can determine their course of action. It seems to me that might be a good resource to keep handy when determining for yourself if you are following appropriate guidelines. Leslie Baldwin http://copyright.columbia.edu/copyright/files/2009/10/fairusechecklist.pdf 7. This site is from a portion of a training on Web courses. It discusses Internet safety, copyright questions and fair use guidelines very creatively. I love the Disney film at the bottom of the page and the FAQ's coming from animated children. http://trainingmoodle.edutech.org/mod/page/view.php?id=110 Leslie Baldwin 8. This site was designed to inform teachers of what they may do under the copyright and fair use guidelines for teachers. This provides a quick and easy guide for teachers to utilize if they have any questions in this area. Covers all area of media. 9. REVIEW. I reviewed the "copyright and Fair Use For Educators" link that was posted by Leslie. I found it to be an excellent resource that included a basic powerpoint with videos (utube) and a chart. I had just posted the chart by itself. I will definitely be using this as a resource in my class. I am glad that Leslie posted this item Joe Robinson
