Creating
Library-Friendly Assignments
|
|
Students need to learn how to recognize when information
is needed as well as how to locate, evaluate, and use the needed
information. Well designed course-integrated library assignments
provide students with the opportunity to explore the information
resources in their disciplines. In addition, library assignments
can be used as a way to approach to writing assignments incrementally,
or as term paper alternatives.
Some
Dos and Don'ts for Library Research Assignments

|
|
|

starting with where the library is |
|
|
Limit
reserach unecessarily to a single index or format (only
articles for eg.) |
|
|
Send
students to browse in journals for articles, periodical
indexes are a more reliable choice |
|
|
Send
in the entire class looking for one single item or information. |

Fair Use and Intellectual Property
|
|
Fair Use is a critical issue for libraries and educators. Whereas
it allows for use of copyrighted materials without authorization
of the copyright holder, four factors are considered in determining
if a use is within the law. * Text of the Fair Use Statute (Title
17, Chapter 1, Section 107: http://www.loc.gov/copyright/title17/92chap1.html#107)
|
Notwithstanding the provisions of sections
106 and 106A, the fair use of a copyrighted work, including
such use by reproduction in copies or phonorecords or by any
other means specified by that section, for purposes such as
criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple
copies for classroom use), scholarship, or research, is not
an infringement of copyright. In determining whether the use
made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors
to be considered shall include-
- the purpose and character of the use, including whether
such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational
purposes;
- the nature of the copyrighted work;
- the amount and substantiality of the portion used
in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole;
- and the effect of the use upon the potential market
for or value of the copyrighted work.
The fact that a work is unpublished shall not itself bar
a finding of fair use if such finding is made upon consideration
of all the above factors. |
