As noted by Kenneth D. Crews, Director of the Copyright Advisory Office at Columbia University, "The relationship between Copyright law and the pursuit of innovative education, librarianship and scholarship has become more important and more complex in recent years" (vii). Indeed, as more copyrighted information becomes digitized and readily available, and as more faculty rely upon electronic materials for their teaching and scholarship, it is important that they be familiar with copyright law and what constitutes the "fair use" of copyrighted materials. To that end, Mount Saint Mary College has provided these guidelines to assist faculty in using copyrighted materials responsibly.
