  • Audiovisual Services Copyright Information Audiovisual (AV) Audiovisual Services Copyright Policy Why Care About Copyright? Copyright Defined Fair Use Guidelines for Educators Penalties for Infringement AV Scheduling Reminders References Hamilton College's Overall Copyright Policy Displaying Copyrighted Media on Campus Video Recording of Campus Events AV Production Work Seeking Permission to Use Copyrighted Materials Why Care about Copyright? Please take a moment to review this brief document. This is the Hamilton College Audiovisual Department's interpretation of Federal Copyright Law, based on careful review of the law itself and the Fair Use guidelines. It is by no means the only interpretation. It is, however, what we believe is most ethical and appropriate for this campus. It is our hope that this will help you understand and adhere to the provisions of federal copyright law. Compliance with the federal copyright law and with this policy is the responsibility of every member of the faculty, staff, administration, and student body, and we will all share in the liability if a violation occurs. Each of us should, therefore, take a personal interest in becoming informed about how copyright law affects our work at Hamilton College. Copyright law is complicated and its interpretation is sometimes controversial. This guide has been prepared in an effort to help us all better understand what is allowable by law, and why some audiovisual services that are technically possible may be restricted. We will always remain open to receiving any new information on or interpretation of copyright law. Your support and cooperation is greatly appreciated. If you have questions or concerns about this policy, please contact Tim Hicks, x4790. General Information - Copyright Copyright grants to the author or originator the sole and exclusive privilege of multiplying copies of literary or artistic productions and publishing and selling them. Copyright protection exists for original works fixed in any tangible medium of expression, including: literary works; musical works, including any accompanying words; dramatic works, including any accompanying music; pantomimes and choreographic work; pictorial, graphic, and sculpture work; motion pictures and other audiovisual works; sound recordings. Fair Use Many provisions of the law affect educational uses of copyrighted materials but the most generally applicable is Section 107 - Limitations on Exclusive Rights: Fair Use. Under the law, it is fair use to reproduce copyrighted materials for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. Four criteria will be applied in judging whether or not there has been an infringement: The purpose and character of the use; The nature of the copyrighted work; The amount and substantiality of the portion being used; The effect on the potential market for or value of the work. The four criteria for determining fair use listed above are very general. To aid in the interpretation of Fair Use criteria, interested groups of publishers and users have agreed on more specific guidelines, including: Guidelines and fair use in photocopying of copyrighted print materials for educational purposes. Guidelines and fair use of copyrighted musical works in education. Guidelines for photocopying for interlibrary loans by libraries and archives. These guidelines were not written into the law, but they are accepted and used in interpreting the provisions of copyright law. An area left without specific guidelines at this time is audiovisual media. Representatives of copyright owners and users of audiovisual media have agreed that the general principles of fair use can apply to audiovisual media. Penalties and Infringement Substantial penalties are provided for infringement of a copyright: An injunction to stop the infringement is most likely to be the first action. Payment of actual damages for financial loss suffered by the copyright owner may be required. Statutory damages, for which no actual damages need be proved, may be assessed. If the court determines there is an infringement, it must award between $500 and $20,000. An exception to the statutory damages is made in the case of teachers, provided the teacher believed and had reasonable grounds to believe that it was fair use. In this case the teacher may be found guilty but the damages do not have to be paid. This gives the teachers some special consideration under the law, but it also requires that they be thoroughly familiar with what might be considered reasonable fair use practices. AV Scheduling Reminders It is the responsibility of the party requesting services, not the AV department, to secure written permission in advance for videotaping, or video or audio production. The AV department asks that requests for recording services be placed at least one to two weeks in advance to Audiovisual Services, x4120. The AV department does not reserve classroom or auditorium space.

  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Displaying Media Audiovisual (AV)   Audiovisual Services Displaying Copyrighted Media on Campus   Rented Films and Videos Media Library Materials Music Library Materials Programs Recorded Off-Air Faculty-Owned Videos Use of Media by Guest Lecturers Rented Films and Videos Media materials are rented, by contract, for a specific occasion. If a film is to be open to more than just the students in a class, it must be rented for an "open showing" which allows for on-campus advertising and an audience larger than a class of students. If a student will not be able to attend the scheduled showing, and you want to schedule a second showing, that must be arranged before the rental is ordered and made a part of the film or video rental contract. Many companies charge an extra fee to show a film or video a second time, even if it's for a single student from the original class. Rented materials cannot be placed on reserve at the Media Library. Rented materials cannot be shown in the Media Library for a student who may miss the original showing. The additional showing in a classroom must be scheduled through the AV office and added to the rental contract. College facilities and equipment cannot be used to show media that have not been legally obtained for classroom or public showings. Videos that you have rented from a local video store such as Blockbuster do not constitute legally obtained copies for open showings. It is, however, permissible to use these videos for classroom showings. Media Library Materials Films and videos owned by the Media Library are generally purchased for classroom use only. These media cannot be used for a public showing and therefore cannot be advertised, even to the campus community. Showings of these media cannot be opened to students outside your class. In some cases, you can purchase a public performance license that will allow you to advertise a showing of a library item. Contact the AV Film Specialist for assistance.  Music Library Materials The Music Library collection is a closed collection. Materials cannot be signed out without express consent of the Music Library Coordinator. If the Music Library Coordinator grants permission and the material you want constitutes less than 10% o the total work, a CD copy can be made for you by either the Music Library or the AV Department.   Programs Recorded Off-Air Broadcast programs may be taped off-air only by nonprofit educational institutions, for use in instruction and not for entertainment. A broadcast may be recorded and retained by the educational institution for a period of 45 calendar days after the recording date. At the end of that period, the recording must be erased. Off-air recordings may be used once by a teacher, and can be repeated once for instructional reinforcement. The showing must be in a classroom, and must take place within the first 10 consecutive school days. A teacher must request a program be recorded. Programs cannot be recorded by the AV Department in anticipation of a request. After the first 10 consecutive school days a tape may be used by a teacher only to review and determine whether or not to purchase the program. All copies of off-air recordings must include the copyright notices displayed on the program.   Faculty-Owned Videos Videos purchased by you or by your department may be used by you in your classroom, but cannot be used for an open showing to students outside your class and cannot be advertised on campus. Videos you have taped off-air at your home cannot be shown in the classroom. AV can make an off-air tape at your request, or it may be possible to rent or purchase a program through appropriate channels. Use of Media by Guest Lecturers If a guest artist or lecturer brings audiovisual materials (film or video) for use in their program, we need to know that they have permission to use those items. We have a form for them to sign declaring such. Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home  
  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Production Work Audiovisual (AV) Audiovisual Services   AV Production Work   EXISTING VIDEO FOOTAGE Existing copyrighted video footage can be incorporated into a video being produced by a student for a class project or by a faculty member for curriculum-based instruction if the borrowed material does not constitute more than 10% o the original, or 3 minutes, whichever is less, nor does it comprise the majority of the finished product. The opening screen of the project and any accompanying print material must include a notice that certain materials have been used under the fair use exemption of the U.S. Copyright Law.   EXISTING COPYRIGHTED MUSIC Existing music (recorded music, lyrics, or music videos) can be incorporated into a student or faculty multimedia project if the borrowed material does not constitute more than 10% o the original, or 30 seconds, whichever is less. Longer portions of music can be used only if a "video synchronization license" is bought from the music publisher or owner of the copyright.   COPYING VIDEO AND AUDIO RECORDINGS No media carrying a copyright will be duplicated by the AV department without express, written consent from the publisher or copyright owner. Personal projects should first be taken to the Multimedia Presentation Center (Information Commons) in the Library, where you can work on your project yourself.   Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home  
  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Seek Permission Audiovisual (AV) Audiovisual Services   Seeking Permission to Use Copyrighted Materials Educators should be aware that it may be possible to make use of copyrighted materials beyond what's provided under fair use, if permission is granted first. There may or may not be a charge, and permission may be refused, but it never hurts to ask. First, determine ownership of the work. Contact the library using the Ask a Librarian Form or call x4735 and a librarian will be able to help in locating addresses of publishers. Next send a detailed letter of request, including the following: Title and author's/originator's name Editor and edition (if a print material) Exact material to be used, including amount, page numbers, chapters and if possible a photocopy of the material, or other appropriate quantitative description Number of copies to be made Purpose for the duplicated materials Form or method of distribution Whether or not the material is to be sold Type of reproduction (photocopy, slide, videotape, etc.)   You might also do the following: Leave blank spaces (possibly in the form of a checklist) at the end for the publisher to fill in whether or not permission is granted, conditions, authorized signature and date. Make three copies - one for your files and two to send to the publisher. One of these is to be returned to you with the publisher's decision indicated. Include a self-addressed, stamped return envelope. Don't ask for a blanket permission - in most cases it cannot be granted. Send by registered mail when response is crucial, such as for publications that will be sold or printed for distribution.   Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home  
  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Video Recording Audiovisual (AV) Audiovisual Services   Video Recording of Campus Events   Department and Student Performances Department or student productions can be videotaped if the following criteria are met: If the presentation is an original work by a faculty member or student, and they sign a video recording permission form provided by AV Services. If the presentation is a copyrighted script and written permission is obtained in advance from the publisher or owner of the copyright. Some works which one might believe to be in the public domain may still carry a copyright for translation, stage direction or other modifications, and written permission is still necessary. If the presentation involves copyrighted music (such as a dance concert) and written permission is obtained from the music publisher or owner of the copyright. For information on obtaining permission from a publisher or copyright owner, see Seeking Permission to Use Copyrighted Materials.   Lecturers Lectures or performances presented by guests to the campus will be recorded if the guest signs a permission form, provided by AV Services, prior to the lecture or performance taking place. Permission must also be obtained from members of the Hamilton community (employees, students, alumni, trustees). By signing this video permission form, a speaker or performer is also certifying that any audiovisual materials (movie, PowerPoint, web page) are their own work or that they have obtained proper copyright clearances for displaying them.   Sporting Events According to the rules of NESCAC and other athletic leagues in which Hamilton varsity teams compete, there are no restrictions placed on sporting events. A request must be placed prior to a game and must come from a member of the coaching staff. Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home

  • Audiovisual Services Copyright Information Copyright Audiovisual Services Copyright Policy Why Care About Copyright? Copyright Defined Fair Use Guidelines for Educators Penalties for Infringement AV Scheduling Reminders References Hamilton College's Overall Copyright Policy Displaying Copyrighted Media on Campus Video Recording of Campus Events AV Production Work Seeking Permission to Use Copyrighted Materials Why Care about Copyright? Please take a moment to review this brief document. This is the Hamilton College Audiovisual Department's interpretation of Federal Copyright Law, based on careful review of the law itself and the Fair Use guidelines. It is by no means the only interpretation. It is, however, what we believe is most ethical and appropriate for this campus. It is our hope that this will help you understand and adhere to the provisions of federal copyright law. Compliance with the federal copyright law and with this policy is the responsibility of every member of the faculty, staff, administration, and student body, and we will all share in the liability if a violation occurs. Each of us should, therefore, take a personal interest in becoming informed about how copyright law affects our work at Hamilton College. Copyright law is complicated and its interpretation is sometimes controversial. This guide has been prepared in an effort to help us all better understand what is allowable by law, and why some audiovisual services that are technically possible may be restricted. We will always remain open to receiving any new information on or interpretation of copyright law. Your support and cooperation is greatly appreciated. If you have questions or concerns about this policy, please contact Tim Hicks, x4790. General Information - Copyright Copyright grants to the author or originator the sole and exclusive privilege of multiplying copies of literary or artistic productions and publishing and selling them. Copyright protection exists for original works fixed in any tangible medium of expression, including: literary works; musical works, including any accompanying words; dramatic works, including any accompanying music; pantomimes and choreographic work; pictorial, graphic, and sculpture work; motion pictures and other audiovisual works; sound recordings. Fair Use Many provisions of the law affect educational uses of copyrighted materials but the most generally applicable is Section 107 - Limitations on Exclusive Rights: Fair Use. Under the law, it is fair use to reproduce copyrighted materials for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. Four criteria will be applied in judging whether or not there has been an infringement: The purpose and character of the use; The nature of the copyrighted work; The amount and substantiality of the portion being used; The effect on the potential market for or value of the work. The four criteria for determining fair use listed above are very general. To aid in the interpretation of Fair Use criteria, interested groups of publishers and users have agreed on more specific guidelines, including: Guidelines and fair use in photocopying of copyrighted print materials for educational purposes. Guidelines and fair use of copyrighted musical works in education. Guidelines for photocopying for interlibrary loans by libraries and archives. These guidelines were not written into the law, but they are accepted and used in interpreting the provisions of copyright law. An area left without specific guidelines at this time is audiovisual media. Representatives of copyright owners and users of audiovisual media have agreed that the general principles of fair use can apply to audiovisual media. Penalties and Infringement Substantial penalties are provided for infringement of a copyright: An injunction to stop the infringement is most likely to be the first action. Payment of actual damages for financial loss suffered by the copyright owner may be required. Statutory damages, for which no actual damages need be proved, may be assessed. If the court determines there is an infringement, it must award between $500 and $20,000. An exception to the statutory damages is made in the case of teachers, provided the teacher believed and had reasonable grounds to believe that it was fair use. In this case the teacher may be found guilty but the damages do not have to be paid. This gives the teachers some special consideration under the law, but it also requires that they be thoroughly familiar with what might be considered reasonable fair use practices. AV Scheduling Reminders It is the responsibility of the party requesting services, not the AV department, to secure written permission in advance for videotaping, or video or audio production. The AV department asks that requests for recording services be placed at least one to two weeks in advance to Audiovisual Services, x4120. The AV department does not reserve classroom or auditorium space.

  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Displaying Media Copyright   Audiovisual Services Displaying Copyrighted Media on Campus   Rented Films and Videos Media Library Materials Music Library Materials Programs Recorded Off-Air Faculty-Owned Videos Use of Media by Guest Lecturers Rented Films and Videos Media materials are rented, by contract, for a specific occasion. If a film is to be open to more than just the students in a class, it must be rented for an "open showing" which allows for on-campus advertising and an audience larger than a class of students. If a student will not be able to attend the scheduled showing, and you want to schedule a second showing, that must be arranged before the rental is ordered and made a part of the film or video rental contract. Many companies charge an extra fee to show a film or video a second time, even if it's for a single student from the original class. Rented materials cannot be placed on reserve at the Media Library. Rented materials cannot be shown in the Media Library for a student who may miss the original showing. The additional showing in a classroom must be scheduled through the AV office and added to the rental contract. College facilities and equipment cannot be used to show media that have not been legally obtained for classroom or public showings. Videos that you have rented from a local video store such as Blockbuster do not constitute legally obtained copies for open showings. It is, however, permissible to use these videos for classroom showings. Media Library Materials Films and videos owned by the Media Library are generally purchased for classroom use only. These media cannot be used for a public showing and therefore cannot be advertised, even to the campus community. Showings of these media cannot be opened to students outside your class. In some cases, you can purchase a public performance license that will allow you to advertise a showing of a library item. Contact the AV Film Specialist for assistance.  Music Library Materials The Music Library collection is a closed collection. Materials cannot be signed out without express consent of the Music Library Coordinator. If the Music Library Coordinator grants permission and the material you want constitutes less than 10% o the total work, a CD copy can be made for you by either the Music Library or the AV Department.   Programs Recorded Off-Air Broadcast programs may be taped off-air only by nonprofit educational institutions, for use in instruction and not for entertainment. A broadcast may be recorded and retained by the educational institution for a period of 45 calendar days after the recording date. At the end of that period, the recording must be erased. Off-air recordings may be used once by a teacher, and can be repeated once for instructional reinforcement. The showing must be in a classroom, and must take place within the first 10 consecutive school days. A teacher must request a program be recorded. Programs cannot be recorded by the AV Department in anticipation of a request. After the first 10 consecutive school days a tape may be used by a teacher only to review and determine whether or not to purchase the program. All copies of off-air recordings must include the copyright notices displayed on the program.   Faculty-Owned Videos Videos purchased by you or by your department may be used by you in your classroom, but cannot be used for an open showing to students outside your class and cannot be advertised on campus. Videos you have taped off-air at your home cannot be shown in the classroom. AV can make an off-air tape at your request, or it may be possible to rent or purchase a program through appropriate channels. Use of Media by Guest Lecturers If a guest artist or lecturer brings audiovisual materials (film or video) for use in their program, we need to know that they have permission to use those items. We have a form for them to sign declaring such. Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home  
  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Production Work Copyright Audiovisual Services   AV Production Work   EXISTING VIDEO FOOTAGE Existing copyrighted video footage can be incorporated into a video being produced by a student for a class project or by a faculty member for curriculum-based instruction if the borrowed material does not constitute more than 10% o the original, or 3 minutes, whichever is less, nor does it comprise the majority of the finished product. The opening screen of the project and any accompanying print material must include a notice that certain materials have been used under the fair use exemption of the U.S. Copyright Law.   EXISTING COPYRIGHTED MUSIC Existing music (recorded music, lyrics, or music videos) can be incorporated into a student or faculty multimedia project if the borrowed material does not constitute more than 10% o the original, or 30 seconds, whichever is less. Longer portions of music can be used only if a "video synchronization license" is bought from the music publisher or owner of the copyright.   COPYING VIDEO AND AUDIO RECORDINGS No media carrying a copyright will be duplicated by the AV department without express, written consent from the publisher or copyright owner. Personal projects should first be taken to the Multimedia Presentation Center (Information Commons) in the Library, where you can work on your project yourself.   Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home  
  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Seek Permission Copyright Audiovisual Services   Seeking Permission to Use Copyrighted Materials Educators should be aware that it may be possible to make use of copyrighted materials beyond what's provided under fair use, if permission is granted first. There may or may not be a charge, and permission may be refused, but it never hurts to ask. First, determine ownership of the work. Contact the library using the Ask a Librarian Form or call x4735 and a librarian will be able to help in locating addresses of publishers. Next send a detailed letter of request, including the following: Title and author's/originator's name Editor and edition (if a print material) Exact material to be used, including amount, page numbers, chapters and if possible a photocopy of the material, or other appropriate quantitative description Number of copies to be made Purpose for the duplicated materials Form or method of distribution Whether or not the material is to be sold Type of reproduction (photocopy, slide, videotape, etc.)   You might also do the following: Leave blank spaces (possibly in the form of a checklist) at the end for the publisher to fill in whether or not permission is granted, conditions, authorized signature and date. Make three copies - one for your files and two to send to the publisher. One of these is to be returned to you with the publisher's decision indicated. Include a self-addressed, stamped return envelope. Don't ask for a blanket permission - in most cases it cannot be granted. Send by registered mail when response is crucial, such as for publications that will be sold or printed for distribution.   Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home  
  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Video Recording Copyright Audiovisual Services   Video Recording of Campus Events   Department and Student Performances Department or student productions can be videotaped if the following criteria are met: If the presentation is an original work by a faculty member or student, and they sign a video recording permission form provided by AV Services. If the presentation is a copyrighted script and written permission is obtained in advance from the publisher or owner of the copyright. Some works which one might believe to be in the public domain may still carry a copyright for translation, stage direction or other modifications, and written permission is still necessary. If the presentation involves copyrighted music (such as a dance concert) and written permission is obtained from the music publisher or owner of the copyright. For information on obtaining permission from a publisher or copyright owner, see Seeking Permission to Use Copyrighted Materials.   Lecturers Lectures or performances presented by guests to the campus will be recorded if the guest signs a permission form, provided by AV Services, prior to the lecture or performance taking place. Permission must also be obtained from members of the Hamilton community (employees, students, alumni, trustees). By signing this video permission form, a speaker or performer is also certifying that any audiovisual materials (movie, PowerPoint, web page) are their own work or that they have obtained proper copyright clearances for displaying them.   Sporting Events According to the rules of NESCAC and other athletic leagues in which Hamilton varsity teams compete, there are no restrictions placed on sporting events. A request must be placed prior to a game and must come from a member of the coaching staff. Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home

Contact Linda Brennan at 315-859-4923 for information about the media collection and borrowing items. In virtually all classrooms, the AV equipment is operated via a touchscreen control. If you need help getting started, contact AV Services (x4120) to schedule a brief personal training session in your classroom. Audiovisual Services will provide a projectionist if the media item (rented or from our library) is a 16mm film or another unusual format. To request a projectionist, send a written or e-mail request to the Audiovisual Film Specialist (x4120), at least two weeks in advance. Please include the following information when requesting movie rentals: SHOW DATE(S) SHOW TIME: Indicate the start time(s) and whether you plan to show a film in the latter part of a class. LOCATION: If you plan to show media materials at a time or place different from the assigned class period or location you must make room reservations with the Registrar. TITLE: Include the full title, plus an English translation of any foreign title. Other helpful information could include director, actors, country and year, especially if there has been more than one production of the same title. FORMAT: Indicate the format (video, DVD, 16 mm film), only if one type is preferred over another. SOURCE: If you are aware of a source, please provide it. PUBLIC PERFORMANCE: Will the screening be only for the students in your class, or do you plan to advertise it or invite other viewers? Media Use and Rental Policies Most materials from the Media Library are licensed only for classroom-use showings, and cannot be advertised. A public performance license can be purchased for an open showing in many cases, with at least two weeks' advance notice. The Audiovisual Film Specialist will help you with licensing questions. Movies available on videotape or DVD from the Media Library will not be rented in another format unless the instructor can show the necessity of using the other format. The AV Department's film rental budget supports curricular needs and is to be used for classroom-use rentals only. Any academic open showings (public performace with advertisement) and all entertainment showings will require public performance licensing. The AV Film Specialist will order the rental movie and/or licensing for you, but it must be funded by the requester's department or organization. No rented materials can be put on reserve in the Media Library. For additional information about copyright compliance in the use of library materials and rented media, please read the Audiovisual Copyright Policy.    Available Equipment Contact Audiovisual Services one to two weeks in advance to request audiovisual equipment.

  • Audiovisual Services Copyright, Displaying Media Video   Audiovisual Services Displaying Copyrighted Media on Campus   Rented Films and Videos Media Library Materials Music Library Materials Programs Recorded Off-Air Faculty-Owned Videos Use of Media by Guest Lecturers Rented Films and Videos Media materials are rented, by contract, for a specific occasion. If a film is to be open to more than just the students in a class, it must be rented for an "open showing" which allows for on-campus advertising and an audience larger than a class of students. If a student will not be able to attend the scheduled showing, and you want to schedule a second showing, that must be arranged before the rental is ordered and made a part of the film or video rental contract. Many companies charge an extra fee to show a film or video a second time, even if it's for a single student from the original class. Rented materials cannot be placed on reserve at the Media Library. Rented materials cannot be shown in the Media Library for a student who may miss the original showing. The additional showing in a classroom must be scheduled through the AV office and added to the rental contract. College facilities and equipment cannot be used to show media that have not been legally obtained for classroom or public showings. Videos that you have rented from a local video store such as Blockbuster do not constitute legally obtained copies for open showings. It is, however, permissible to use these videos for classroom showings. Media Library Materials Films and videos owned by the Media Library are generally purchased for classroom use only. These media cannot be used for a public showing and therefore cannot be advertised, even to the campus community. Showings of these media cannot be opened to students outside your class. In some cases, you can purchase a public performance license that will allow you to advertise a showing of a library item. Contact the AV Film Specialist for assistance.  Music Library Materials The Music Library collection is a closed collection. Materials cannot be signed out without express consent of the Music Library Coordinator. If the Music Library Coordinator grants permission and the material you want constitutes less than 10% o the total work, a CD copy can be made for you by either the Music Library or the AV Department.   Programs Recorded Off-Air Broadcast programs may be taped off-air only by nonprofit educational institutions, for use in instruction and not for entertainment. A broadcast may be recorded and retained by the educational institution for a period of 45 calendar days after the recording date. At the end of that period, the recording must be erased. Off-air recordings may be used once by a teacher, and can be repeated once for instructional reinforcement. The showing must be in a classroom, and must take place within the first 10 consecutive school days. A teacher must request a program be recorded. Programs cannot be recorded by the AV Department in anticipation of a request. After the first 10 consecutive school days a tape may be used by a teacher only to review and determine whether or not to purchase the program. All copies of off-air recordings must include the copyright notices displayed on the program.   Faculty-Owned Videos Videos purchased by you or by your department may be used by you in your classroom, but cannot be used for an open showing to students outside your class and cannot be advertised on campus. Videos you have taped off-air at your home cannot be shown in the classroom. AV can make an off-air tape at your request, or it may be possible to rent or purchase a program through appropriate channels. Use of Media by Guest Lecturers If a guest artist or lecturer brings audiovisual materials (film or video) for use in their program, we need to know that they have permission to use those items. We have a form for them to sign declaring such. Return to Menu of Copyright Topics Return to Audiovisual Services Home
