The guidelines outlined here are guidelines only and should be used in conjunction with the copyright law of the United States of America, specifically Section 107: Fair Use, in determining what is and is not permitted.

Educators use a wide range of educational media for classroom use. It is the responsibility of 图书馆/Media Department to preview, acquire, catalog, and distribute all audiovisual 材料 including video, owned by Linn-Benton 社区 College. 作为版权 law clearly protects these audiovisual works, the rights of copyright include the rights of reproduction, adaptation, distribution, public performance, and display. However, these rights are subject to "fair use," so the instructional staff must make every effort to keep their practices within the legal guidelines of fair use.

At Linn-Benton 社区 College, 图书馆 and Media Services have additional permissive uses of copyrighted audiovisual 材料.  These provisions are contained in Section 108 of the Copyright Law, and eligibility for these provisions is determined by the 后:

  2. the copying is not done for commercial advantage; and
  3. copies include a notice of copyright.
