This week, February 22nd through the 26th, is Fair Use Week, a celebration of using copyrighted materials across classrooms in the United States and Canada. Many resources that instructors use with their students are copyrighted. Fair use allows them to be presented in the classroom without copyright permission.
Fair use allows images, book excerpts, and even portions of film to be shown in classrooms. See the infographic below for some of the other uses of fair use, such as sparking innovation, developing creative works, and cultivating scholarship. For further information, visit the Fair Use Week website.
