May I print copies of an article, photograph, graph or poem from Library databases or the web to distribute in class?
Yes. An instructor may make one copy per student of a single chapter from a book, article from a periodical or newspaper, a short story, essay or poem or a graphical work – chart, cartoon, diagram for discussion or classroom use within the guidelines of “fair use,”in this case, brevity and spontaneity. Library licensing fees for subscription databases allows faculty, staff and students to access information and to make a copy for educational or research purposes. These copies, however, may not be used to create an anthology or be made from workbooks or exercises. If use of the materials exceeds the “fair use”guidelines, or is for use a second semester, you will need to obtain permission. “Repeated” use makes it necessary to get copyright permission after the first (spontaneous) use.
