=Copyright and Fair Use Guidelines for Educators=

A **copyright** provides a set of exclusive rights to intellectual property, such as literary works, movies and video, music, recordings, paintings, photographs, software, and industrial designs. The copyright protects the particular work created. Copyrights are granted by government agencies for a limited period of time. Once a work's copyright has expired or if the creator did not desire a copyright, the work becomes part of the **public domain**. Works in public domain are once which no person or other legal entity can establish or maintain proprietary interests. All works created and published before 1923 are considered to be part of the public domain.

ASK YOURSELF THESE QUESTIONS BEFORE COPYING MATERIALS:

 * 2) What is the nature of the work to be used?
 * 3) How much of the work will you use?
 * 4) If this kind of use were widespread, what effect would it have on the market for the original or for permissions?
