National Center for Accessible Instructional Materials

Recorded: August 10, 2010

Topic: Educators often refer to the "Fair Use" limitation in copyright statute as a means to provide materials to students who cannot use print-based materials effectively; however, the term and the exclusion are often used without sufficient knowledge of the elements upon which "Fair Use" is based. In this session, we will introduce the four elements of "Fair Use" included in Section 107 of U. S. Copyright Code and discuss how those elements inform the permissions and limitations of Fair Use. This session makes no attempt to provide legal interpretation or advice, but rather is designed to provide information that raises the awareness of educators and families about these elements and how the elements may logically apply to thinking about the provision of instructional materials.
