Im teaching a class and would like permission to copy various pages from HEARTH with the intent of using this informaiton in my lectures. What are the copyright considerations?
All the original material in HEARTH is in the public domain, except for some of the serial volumes. Fair use should apply in this case, since your use is for non-profit educational or research purposes. That said, copyright law dictates that the total amount of material in any one volume must be limited. If you intend to print pages in order to incorporate information into your lectures or to point out interesting material to your students, that should be no problem. If you intend to print a copy of an article or book for every student in your class it would likely be a copyright violation, as it would be duplication of an entire body of work. However, each student as an individual could access the material and print a copy. If all of this sounds confusing, you’re hearing the voice of U.S. Copyright Law. We invite all our users to become familiar with our Copyright Statement that addresses these issues in more detail.
