What is fair use?

Citation style that respects fair use

Resources for more information

Profit from their words or images

Permit others to reproducetheir work

Create “derivative works” (summaries, movies, translations, etc.)

Perform or display in public

Creators get automatic rights

Without quoting (making a derivative) … research and public conversation cease

Criticism, review, commentary, parody, news reports are important to free society

Some copyright infringements are worthwhile

Rationale for “fair use”

Court defense against infringement No strict definition exists:“There is no specific number of words, lines,

or notes that may safely be taken without permission. Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission”1

Not itself a right

What is “fair use”?

1 U.S. Copyright Office, “Fair Use,” retrieved 20 January 2011 from copyright.gov.

1.In the context of commentary, scholarly report, review, or parody

2.Only a small portion of entire text or picture

3.Cannot harm the market for the work

4.Must indicate source

Conditions for fair use defense


What is fair use?



Indicate when you use an idea outside your own experience with quote marks or citation

Take only brief passages and cite the source so reader can verify original

Use only a portion of pictures in context of commentary or review

Exploit free clipart or create your own

Author-date citation system

Using a lead-in phrase

Original Text

A large number of production facilities in many industries use processes in which heat is transferred between different fluids. The basic principle of heat transfer is extremely simple[;] two fluids at different temperatures are placed in contact with a conductive barrier (the tube wall) and heat is transferred from the hotter fluid to the colder fluid until they reach the same temperature level. In industrial processes this is carried out in heat exchangers of various types and styles usually purpose built for the process and site conditions of the application.

Quote

According to HRS Heat Exchangers(2011), a “large number” of industrial processes use heat transfer. Heat exchangers are “purpose built for the process and site conditions of the application.”

Paraphrase

According to HRS Heat Exchangers (2011), many industries use simple heat transfer processes where a barrier between fluids conducts heat until equilibrium is reached.

Works cited section for end of report

Alphabetic by last name

Year of publication (date when possible)

Web articles: access date but not full URL

Portion of longer work; has corporate author

Books include city and publisher

① In-text citation: Whenever outside ideas come into a report Use both with quotes and your own words

② Works Cited section: List of all sources Separate section at end of report Enough information to check the original

Cite sources twice in reports

Audience cannot turn to end of report

Best practice is to have handout with sources

Without handout, include both in-text citations and works cited info on the slide

According to Nick Anderson, almost two-thirds of U.S. students cannot explain heat transfer1

Slides are a different animal
