SFCC Library Guide: Copyright & Intellectual Property

Two sites you should know about

WSU Copyright Office
http://publishing.wsu.edu/copyright/index.html

The "Guidelines for Educational Use of Copyrighted Materials" is available online only to people using Washington State University computers; however, there are other links at this page freely available to anyone. Since much of this information has been vetted by Washington university system attorneys, it might be particularly helpful.

One-stop shopping center where you can obtain permissions and clearances for copyrighted materials.

More good sites about copyright in general

Another site, similar to the one above, from Stanford University. Some of links here are unique, however, and worth a look.

Crash Course in Copyright
http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/IntellectualProperty/cprtindx.htm#top

This site, from the University of Texas at Austin, is one of the most thorough available for educators.

Electronic Plagiarism Seminar
http://web.lemoyne.edu/~pearson/plagiarism/

A very extensive site developed by Gretchen Pearson, a librarian at Le Moyne College's Falcone Library. This includes numerous annotated links to sites dealing with plagiarism in general and "cut and paste" plagiarism from the Web in particular. There are links to "term paper mill" sites and also to sites for detecting plagiarism. Well worth exploring and bookmarking.

Fair Use of Copyrighted Works A Crucial Element in Educating America
http://www.cetus.org/fairindex.html

This contains an electronic version of Fair Use of Copyrighted Works, a pamphlet published by CETUS (Consortium for Educational Technology for University Systems), which is comprised of California State University, State University of New York, and the City University of New York.
