COPYRIGHT INFORMATION
The following information comes from Copyright Briefnotes, a flyer created by the Heartland Area Education Agency.
Bibliography and Works Cited
"Along with the rights to use copyrighted material comes the responsibility of giving credit to the author. Credit the source, even if it is a fair use. Credit and copyright information can be in a separate section of a multimedia project. Check with the teacher or teacher librarian for the works cited format used in your school. Many of the online databases will generate citations that can be copied/pasted." |

Multimedia Guidelines
• Students may use portions of copyrighted work in multimedia projects or use them in a portfolio (i.e. college or job interview). • Students can’t make or distribute additional copies without permission. • The opening screen should include a statement that certain materials are included under fair use and educational multimedia guidelines, and further use is restricted. • Get copyright permission during the creative process if it might be shown beyond the classroom (i.e. Internet, competition, public performance). • Credit sources and include full bibliographic information. Creative Commons Licensing A growing number of copyright holders (the owners of the work) are giving others the right to share their work under a CC license, or a Creative Commons license. This is good news! Mrs. H can show you how to search for media under the CC license to use in your projects and other creations. One way to look for CC images is to do an Advanced Search in Google Images by clicking on "Search Tools" , then "Usage Rights", then "Labeled for reuse". These images are free for you to use, but remember, you still need to give credit to the owner! That's ALWAYS the deal. |
