incorporating copy written material in educational purposes. The links
page is excellent for finding additional resources.

figuring that out and is one of the best one page summaries of the laws that
control the passing of material to the public domain.

SITE: Copyright Management Center (IUPUI)
URL: http://www.copyright.iupui.edu/
DESCRIPTION: Excellent resource from IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue
University in Indianapolis). The resource listed below (the fair use
checklist) is these best way I have seen to determine if something can
reasonably be used under fair use protection.
SITE: Fair Use Checklist (IUPUI)
URL: http://www.copyright.iupui.edu/checklist.pdf
DESCRIPTION: The fair use checklist is a great way to tell if the intended
use of a copy written item falls under fair use. The document is broken
down into the four components that determine fair use (according to Section# 107 of the U.S. Code):
character of the use, nature of the work to be used, amount used, and the effect of the use on the market for or value of the work.
This document is excellent in giving suggestions that help make the case for or
against fair use. As a friendly reminder, the PDF document was printing on
only one page (despite showing two pages...the second only is
blank).
