Guilford College Copyright Policy
It is the policy of Guilford College to comply with all relevant sections of the United States Copyright Law. Our policies assume respect for the rights of copyright holders, tempered by the recognition that the educational process dictates a flexible and good faith interpretation of the "fair use" doctrine.
The information and guidelines presented below are based on United States Copyright Law. Some materials of interest to the College community may be protected under the copyright regulations of other nations. This document does not address the copyright issues that arise in such circumstances; members of the College community who wish to make use of such materials are encouraged to seek more specialized guidance. Some of the material appearing below is taken from the US Copyright Office Web page at http://lcweb.loc.gov/copyright/; US government publications are not subject to copyright protection.
This policy has been adapted, with permission, from the policy approved by Swarthmore College in June, 2000. It will be applied by Guilford College as an interim policy until a new policy more specifically designed for local conditions can be developed.
Interim policy effective July 2, 2001
