Welcome to the University Libraries Copyright LibGuide! 

Understanding copyright is challenging and often times confusing.  With this guide, we hope to help you explore some of the many issues that may arise in the course of your work.  There are links to other institutions' policies, to fair use analysis tools, and to other resources which we hope will be of use to you.  Please feel free to send us any comments, suggestions, and questions -- we are here as a resource for your information needs!

This is a guide to copyright laws and issues generated by librarians at the University Libraries.  Information found in this guide is not intended to be legal advice.

Please note that this LibGuide is a work in progress.  Check back often for more information about copyright.
