Copyright is a very complex law which makes it difficult to address the many situations and questions that will arise when faculty members are preparing materials for classes. Here are a few guidelines to check against:

If you have determined that permissions are necessary, review the Centre College Faculty Handbook: Requesting Permission page for tips on how to go about getting the permission to use the material you need.
