Where may students obtain materials to use in assignments that are free of copyright restrictions?
There is an immense amount of material in the public domain which may be used without seeking permission. Refer to Kenyon Potter’s book An Educator’s Guide to Finding Resources in the Public Domain ( LB1044.9F73P67 1999). Almost all U.S. government documents are in the public domain, including images. Also, Creative Commons is a new resource-sharing project supported by the Center for the Public Domain.
