Professor Eric Faden, from Buchnell University, created a Fair Use tutorial entirely from Disney animated movie snippets. I say snippets because he careful and legally crafts these bits to accurately describe Fair Use without using too much from any film or using the "heart" or "essence" of them. The information is accurate although you can sense that his angle is that copyright infringes on creativity. See for yourself. It must have been tedious to make.
 * [|A Fair(y) Use Tale]** Sheri Vasinda

REVIEW: Ok, so Professor Faden has WAY too much time on his hands! While it is a novel approach, I found it to be quite irritating. It is also more of a distraction than a learning tool. While it does convey the concepts, I found it difficult to sit through and my monitor is lucky to still be with us. :) I do not think this is a good approach for message conveyance.

[|A Copyright Curriculum for High School Students] Sheri Vasinda Because I work with pre-service teachers and practicing teachers, copyright and fair use becomes a question when students are creating power points and other digital projects where they get images and information from the Internet. There is also information on creating mash-ups. This site provides a well resourced curriculum on copyright. I only found one link that didn't work.

REVIEW (Stefanie Badzinski): I love that this site is an effort to educate students in addition to teachers. I will definitely consider using the learning modules for my students in the future. I disagree with the site-authors' premise that students don't engage in creative projects for fear that they will violate copyright laws--I doubt that even crosses many of their minds, but I think that raising attention to the many things that are permitted could spark some creative fires.

I like this American Library Association site because it provides actual virtual tools to help determine eligibility in specific copyright categories. For instance, to determine "Fair Use" acess, it provides the following:

Fair Use Evaluator
The [|Fair Use Evaluator] is an online tool that can help users understand how to determine if the use of a protected work is a “fair use.” It helps users collect, organize, and document the information they may need to support a fair use claim, and provides a time-stamped PDF document for the users’ records. I played with the the Fair Use Evaluator and appreciated the color coding aspect. Since all of the Fair Use guidelines seem to be an examination of conscience and the guidelines are fuzzy, it is still open to individual interpretation. (Sheri) It also provides tools to determine:
 * Public Domain Slider
 * Section 108 Spinner
 * Exceptions for Instructors eTool
 * Copyright Genie
 * Technology and tool modification
 * Updates

It provides a method for Libraries to lead the way in "educating educators," and keeps current with the 1998 Digital Milennium Copyright Act and the 2002 TEACH Act.

Larry Cochran REVIEW: Larry, I liked the idea of the Fair Use Evaluator. I went through the form and thought it was pretty cool to be able to get an assessment while selecting your own intended uses as the guide. I liked how they gave me the wording and allowed me to "paste text" so that I could get an accurate assessment. However, it was obvious as I was going through the evaluation tool that if I selected something from the right side vs. the left side I was starting to infringe on fair use rules. So it felt like it kind of became pointless at that point - except that it made me think about the way I intended to use the information which was a good thing. I did not understand the final report. I did not see where, in the end, it gave me a recommendation. The benefit that I see in using this would be, like I said, to make me think about the ways in which I intend to use materials. This by itself was a good accountability piece. JENNIFER JAY Know Your Copy Rights-Larry Cochran

This site capsulizes the various categories into a downloadable and usable Adobe Acrobat document you can reference very quickly to determine usability of copyrighted material. In their own words:

"This site looks at copyright from the perspectives of all key academic stakeholders and suggests what each group can do to enhance their copyright practices and advance academic interests. To help libraries undertake a campus copyright educational campaign, a range of tools are offered."

The site provides an Adobe Acrobat document you can download and reuse as needed in a variety of educational settings. The document is sanctioned by the Creative Commons to provide the open access.

It quickly and capably addresses such issues as "Fair Use," "linking," "Public Domain," and instructor questions.

"It is a project of the Association of Research Libraries. The initiative is endorsed by these leading organizations: Library Copyright Alliance (AALL, ALA, ARL, MLA, SLA) Council on Library and Information Resources."

I have provided this information to the OSU-Tulsa Library, and is a part of the content for the OSU-Tulsa Faculty & Instructional Development community course for OSU-Tulsa faculty.

Copyright Resources:

[|Education World]Scott Stoodley

This link will educate instructors and students as to copyright laws and fair use exceptions. It is a 5-part series that comprehensively covers these topics.

Scott Stoodley I have used this resource as an online class component for preservice teachers in an Intro course. It is very thorough an well done. Since I left that resource in my former LMS, I had forgotten about it. Thanks for resurfacing this resource. I'm going to bookmark this so it I can use it again. (Sheri)

[|American University Copyright & Fair Use]Scott Stoodley

I really liked this site. It covers everything from documents to codes, videos, multimedia, etc. It is current and has a monthly question of the month.

[|Library of Congress: Copyright and Primary Sources for Teachers]Stefanie Badzinski

This site includes responses to FAQ from teachers regarding the use of copyrighted material provided on behalf of The Library of Congress. I don't really feel that it adds much to this compilation of ours information-wise, but the authority behind "The Library of Congress" makes me feel extra comfortable.


 * Review-Larry Cochran**


 * Obviously the credibility of this site can't be measured :). I like the "yardstick" the LOC uses called the "American Memory Collection," which provides online access information for a resource immediately. The resource has been "fact checked" legally which takes away the uneasiness faculty sometimes feel on items they use for their online courses, "useable or non-useable?" I also like that they provide in-class examples for their statements to give faculty a frame of reference.**

APS: Resources for the psychology classroomStefanie Badzinski

APS (American Psychological Society) provides many online resources that can be used in the classroom without fear of copyright infringement. Also, it clearly states on their homepage that all APS articles can be used in the classroom without permission. Sites like this one are very helpful for psychology professors because they often archive and provide access to footage from classic studies that would otherwise be unavailable. I don't use many "educational videos" because I like to find everyday examples, but sometimes, you just need a good video of an old study (e.g., Stanford Prison Study) or classic protocol (e.g., Strange Situation Test, Conservation Tasks) that are not horrible reenactments made by college students who also never got to see the originals. Someone accidentally moved the information for the Week to the bottom so in the essence of learning about Wiki, I tried to cut and paste it back at the top. I got everything back to the top but can't delete the little chart! Kind of cool how we can move things around. In a Wiki such as the example of the camping trip or perhaps something more serious...I wonder how you would track changes or keep people from deleting things.....seems like someone would get mad if someone was editing things they didn't want edited. ~Jennifer

[|Office of the U.S. Intellectual Property Enforcement Coordinator (IPEC)] This link is very interesting. It is the government web page for Intellectual Enforcement. I did not know they had a Presidential appointed position for this. On this page, if you click "Intellectual Property Enforcement" it takes you to some recent updates and regulations about intellectual property. Click on "About" and it gives you interesting information about the establishment of this office. The page also has direct quotes from the President about Intellectual Property. This link elevated my understanding and appreciation for copyright and fair use. JENNIFER JAY

[|Intellectual Property in online Education] "Under U.S. law, faculty and students have rights to use copyrighted intellectual property for educational (non-profit) activities called "fair use" rights. The Library of Congress Copyright Office publishes guidelines on its Web site for fair use by educators and students, as well as information for authors who wish to register the copyrights to their material. This authoritative site links to sections on frequently asked questions, publications, international copyright issues, pending changes, and many other topics." I hope this quote serves as my explanation for this resource. I couldn't say it better myself. Within this link there are many helpful resources about educational "fair use" issues. JENNIFER JAY

**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 I found the Fair(y) Use Tale on this website and really appreciate the resources and openness of thinking about copyright on this site. There are many good embedded videos and links. (Sheri) [|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.”
