  • Educators have special "fair use" privileges that allow us to make use of portions of copyrighted material for educational use. But that does not mean that we have carte blanche to do what we will with copyrighted works. Be sure you know what the limitations are and you will be able to make the right decisions. With that in mind, the links below will give you the information you need to make use of your fair use privileges without violating copyright law.
