Copyright Guide for Faculty

As part of the Middle States Report, Academic Assembly was charged with overseeing suggestions for Standard 6 on academic integrity. The AIRS (Academic Integrity in Research and Scholarship) Committee was formed to look at issues related to academic integrity including plagiarism and copyright.

As part of this charge, AIRS determined that faculty would benefit from some guidance on copyright. We have created a library guide that covers the basics of copyright, classroom use, fair use, various tools for determining use, etc. We hope that you will find this information useful.
