I own this textbook and it really is my best tool for writing instructions successfully. There is no preview on Google Books, but if you are really interested, look it up at your closest library. Part 2 helps you plan the document.

This book covers copyright rules for everything from writings to music and even to maps which was something that I hadn't seen or even thought about. I have not read the book but glanced through it and it looks easy to understand and is packed full of information.

I'm all about the easy when it comes to books like this and after glancing through this material, it not only looks easy to read but also easy to understand. It gives very good descriptions on public domain and makes it clear enough that you know exactly what it is talking about.

I am unable to highlight portions from this Google Book but page 1 goes into an overview of what copyright is generally. Works created by a person as a performance or display need explicit permission from the creator or copyright holder.

Pages 2-5 of this book discuss the economic and philosophical justifications for copyright. This book excerpt helped me better understand the importance of copyright and why it is sometimes necessary.

Here is a handy e-book with pre-highlighted areas on contrast techniques.

This book touches on the difference between fair use and creative commons. The author gives her opinion on whether fair use or creative commons is best. She believes that creative commons is more useful than fair use. 

This book is helpful because it gives a general idea of copyright but also explains how fair use works. It explains how the laws of copyright work with fair use in news reporting, creative works, education, and others. This book also deals with getting permission which can be helpful to authors.

I like this site because it breaks down each individual part of the aspects that need to be included in writing instructions. Something that will help me when I am doing Project #1 is that this page gives me a list of what sections are required to write instructions and explains them all. It states that instructions need a title, introduction, list of tools, steps, and finally a conclusion.

Includes a "Categories of Works" section discussion the types of works covered by copyright, such as literary works, musical and dramatic works, pantomimes and choreography, pictorial and graphic works, sculptures, films and other audiovisual works, sound recordings, and finally architectural works. Copyrighted works can fall into more than one category (a play is both a literary and dramatic work, for example) and the list is not exhaustive. A work that doesn't seem to fit into any of these categories could still be covered by copyright if it is "an original work of authorship." The chapter then covers each category in more detail. Literature, for example, is defined not just as novels and plays but also movie scripts, letters, email messages, blogs, computer programs, and even souvenir T-shirt messages. It also doesn't have to be tangible; a short story doesn't need to be published in physical format to be copyrighted.

This text seems to have go how to write instructions information. I think it will definitely help the beginning instruction writer.

Instructions on directing the eye to certain elements of a layout which is emphasized through the use of flow.

I think this resource is a must read for beginning understanding of fair use. I personally need it and thought others might too.

I really like this one because its more detailed. There is a table of contents that explains a variety of details that go into making a design. For example, chapter 1 is doing the research, ch.3 is Headlines and Slogans. This is really helpful for someone who has no idea where to begin.

This explains the 6 different types of licenses that can be obtained from Creative Commons and what they entail-very interesting.

discusses modernity to postmodernity, intensifying globalisation, and the connotations of new media.

This book is good I went and read about 10 pages and I have a stronger understanding of what,how,and when to use copyrights .I gives examples which I learn when examples are given . I would recommend this book to read for a better understanding of copyrights
