Copyright Resource Guide

Indiana University Web sites include a variety of materials created by different members of the IU community. Although these works may be freely accessible on the World Wide Web and may not include any statement about copyright, the U.S. Copyright Act nevertheless provides that such works are protected by copyright. Users must assume that works are protected by copyright until they learn otherwise.

Indiana University would like users to make productive use of materials found on its Web pages, particularly if the uses are for nonprofit educational purposes. The university is currently seeking means to clarify the rights of use of many materials accessible on its Web pages. Unless rights of use are clearly stated with respect to an individual item, users must seek permission from the copyright owner for all uses that are not allowed by fair use or other provisions of the U.S. Copyright Act. If you need assistance with identifying or locating the copyright owner of a work, please contact the owner of the page from which you linked to this statement.

Note: please be aware of sanctions for copyright infringement at Indiana University.
