Simplifying Copyright!
Copyright can be a complicated topic. With
this in mind, the PTC Library has
developed the Online Copyright Center
as a place for
college employees and students to
turn for copyright-related information and
services.
Part I: General
Information
Using
the links to the left, you may access general
copyright information including
laws, guidelines and information about
copyright learning opportunities. Instructors
may also use the
Clearance Form to document efforts to comply
with copyright laws.
Part II: Using
Copyrighted Materials in My Classes
The second component of the
Center allows instructors and students to find out how they
may use copyrighted works in the various
types of courses offered at PTC. Click on a course type below to learn how copyrighted works may be used
