Thanks so much for sharing these Breeze presentations; they're not
only comprehensive on this topic but also very well executed. Kudos to
you and your staff.

At my institution we have seen the same issues (of facutly and staff assuming the myth in which all media can be used if it is for educational use).

We have a best practices/ policies and proceedures in place. Here is a copy of our presentations that we share with our content developers and educators:
Copyright- http://breezep.suu.edu/p58369129/
TEACH Act- http://breezep.suu.edu/teachact/

Another tip is to have the staff go through the pains of obtaining a permission release. Here is a presentation that I made to make it easier for those not familiar with the process: http://breezep.suu.edu/p90533346/

Best of luck!

Hi Uvadev:

This is a difficult area to provide any substantive guidance on. As
you're probably already aware, there is a lot of information on the
web regarding the "Fair Use" law. I found this article on the Nolo
Press site to be a good introduction on the topic:

If you work for a medium to large sized company, your company may
already have established procedures for the use of copyrighted
materials. If so, I would certainly recommend consulting with your
legal department to see what they recommend.

Hope this helps!
