In Addition
This Statement on the Fair Use of Images for Teaching, Research, and Study describes six uses of copyrighted still images that the Visual Resources Association (vraweb.org) believes fall within the U.S. doctrine of fair use.
The six uses are:
1) preservation (storing images for repeated use in a teaching context and transferring images to new formats);
2) use of images for teaching purposes;
3) use of images (both large, high-resolution images and thumbnails) on course websites and in other
online study materials;
4) adaptations of images for teaching and classroom work by students;
5) sharing images among educational and cultural institutions to facilitate teaching and study; and
6) reproduction of images in theses and dissertations.
