Looking for an easy to understand clarification on copyright in educational settings? Look no more!

Do you serve as the copyright police of your school? Are you looking for a simple way to educate teachers about copyright? Are you trying to save your school from a lawsuit? Drop anchor in Copyright Bay.

This is a great website designed by the University of St. Francis, Joliet, IL. It is the most user friendly explanation I've seen. Topics/locations include

• Fair Use Harbor
• Background Beach (why should teachers care)
• Multimedia Wharf
• Single Copying Inlet
• Cove of Multiple Copies
• Audio Visual Lagoon
• Dist-Ed Point

There is even a shakedown cruise to determine what you really know. Any library media specialist should take this to find out how much you think you know.
