AUS has started a new Copyright & Permissions service to help faculty, students and staff understand and comply with U.S. and UAE copyright law. Please see links below to learn how to avoid copyright violations and legally use copyrighted materials in the classroom. If necessary, we can help you obtain permission from the copyright holder for uses not covered by Fair Use. Permission can be obtained either by contacting the copyright holder directly or through a licensing agent (Copyright Clearance Center). Please contact me for more information about copyright compliance and will be glad to assist you:

Created by the Copyright Advisory Office at Columbia University, this checklist designed to help educators evaluate “fair use” of copyrighted works. It also provides an important means for recording your decision-making process which is critical to establishing your "reasonable and good-faith" attempts to apply fair use to meet your educational objectives.
"This manual is intended to help graduate students and advisors understand legal rights and duties at an early stage, before the legal issues can become serious and frustrating." (Crews, Preface)
