Some copyrighted material may have rights granted for school use. These materials may only be used in the manner prescribed in the permission. While there is no legal precedent for Internet materials, some guidelines can be extrapolated from print and non-print rules. One can create links to images or documents on Web pages since the actual document or image isn't moved from its home location. One can also argue for whatever the fair use exemption will permit.
Students can view copyrighted material on the computer screen or out of real time cache.
They can make a single, hard copy for their personal use and education or create links to them on web pages. Students must acknowledge the sources of the copyrighted materials they use. Students must also retain all copies of products created, so teachers and librarians cannot legally create anthologies of student products if the products contain copyrighted materials used under the fair use exemption. Use mail-to links on Web pages to ask permission. If you know you will use material more than 4 or 5 days ahead, you are obligated to request permission.
