Copyright

[Dale Stevens <webster1@EXECPC.COM>]

I know this has been discussed before but I'm still not sure if there is a
clear answer to copyright and multimedia projects.  Our students are doing
hyperstudio projects and incorporating scanned pictures from books and
magazines.  We make sure the project has a bibliography which includes the
sources for the pictures.  My question is "is this a violation of
copyright?"  To me its the same as years ago cutting out magazine pictures
to paste into a report.  Was that copyright violation?  In The Copyright
Primer for Librarians and Educators by Janis Bruwelheide it sounds like
this might fall into fair use.  So my next question is can I take these
projects to a conference to demonstrate what are students are doing or is
that copyright violation?  Are this questions too picky or is it something
to be concerned about??
