Copyright in Higher Education

In this electronic age, copyright issues abound. College Librarian, Mark Hanna, has created a page to answer virtually any question about copyright in higher education.

The article links to a comprehensive subject guide to copyright information maintained at Rutgers University. Topics include legal materials; fair use principle; tips, guides and FAQs; key Internet sites; indexes; organizations; author / publisher agreements; and licensing.

The permanent location for the copyright article is on the Library's Quick Links page.
