[Web4lib] Fair use (was Nature copyright clause) (was Wikipedia vs. Britannica)

[John W. Chapman]

This might be a good time to mention the Fair Use resources that staff here
at the University of Minnesota put together.
They are part of a larger copyright info subsite that examines the issue,
especially in how it relates to instruction, research and library work. See:


http://www.lib.umn.edu/copyright/fairuse.phtml

Also on this page are links to different versions of a Fair Use Analysis
Tool, which can be used to document the process of deciding whether
reproducing a specific resource can be considered fair use.
