This article is created by the U.S. Copyright office. It briefly discusses some of the fair use factors in accordance with Secion 107 of the title 17, U.S. code. It explains that the distinction between fair use and copyright infringement may be difficult to define because there is no specification on the amount of text that can be used. But it does use the 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law to state some fair use examples that the court has identified as acceptable.

Student enrollment, types of courses, technology used to deliver, district monitoring and policies are some of the topics discussed in this research article.

I think this is definitely a video the students will remember!

This research summarizes the application of fair use to meet the missions of the U.S. academic and research libraries. Sixty- five librarians were interviewed in this study. Each of them was asked about their employment and the five keys of practice. These librarians discussed how to apply fair use to their positions. The purpose of this study was to determine best practices in fair use. In the findings, librarians were found dedicated to their jobs and concerns about applying fair use and copyright limitations were provided for them at the end of this study.
