You may have seen some flyers or communications over the past month from Duke's IT Security Office regarding distribution of copyrighted materials.  These communications from the University are primarily targeted at students who may violate copyright through misuse of music-sharing capabilities.  There may be other questions regarding teaching or research materials at Duke, and whether these materials are within the guidelines of fair use.

Here at Fuqua you can direct copyright questions regarding fair use or the need to obtain permission to Meg Trauner in our Ford Library. While IT is sometimes thrust in the middle of copyright issues since the RIAA and other policing organizations send any violation notices through the University's information security officer, we are not experts on copyright rules and practices.  Meg and I wanted to complement the Duke postings/awareness campaign with this "go to" resource for copyright questions as a more appropriate approach for Fuqua constituents.

Please contact Meg directly at 660-7869 if you have questions about use of copyrighted materials.

Thanks.
