Copyright and Fair Use; Proper Citation of Web Resources

Things to Remember:
1) Just because it's online doesn't mean you can automatically use it. A lot of things require permission, so ask first!
2) Always cite your resources. As long as it is for educational purposes, you are within your rights to use information, but it must be gone about properly!
3) If you think you may be using something beyond your rights, you probably are. Consult someone who knows, or look up fair use online.

Here are some resources:
1) www.copyright.gov
2) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_use
3) http://www.utsystem.edu/OGC/intellectualProperty/copypol2.htm
4) http://www.templetons.com/brad/copymyths.html
