FAQs When making a professional presentation, does one need to list a reference for every photo, clip, image, or other resource used in the presentation? If the presentation is educational in nature and not commercial, are the rules different? |
If the presentation is for educational purposes, it’s important to make sure the use of the materials not created by you in your educational presentation will comply with fair use. For help determining this, refer to the fair use checklist developed by the IUPUI Copyright Management Center. http://www.copyright.iupui.edu/checklist.htm If the use of these materials does not infringe on the copyright owner’s rights, you will not need to ask permission. But it is still a good idea and common courtesy to list a reference for each piece of media or resource used in your presentation. Go to http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/copyright1.html#2i to see more information about how to do this from the Guidelines from Consortium of College & University Media Centers provided by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction. If the presentation is commercial rather than educational, then you must seek permission to use the materials. You may also have to pay a licensing fee for their use. You will also be expected to cite the materials. |
| How does one cite references for resources used in a PowerPoint presentation? | Below are some sources that provide examples of how to cite references for materials used in a presentation. Find specific information about multimedia presentation citations at this URL: http://www.dpi.state.nc.us/copyright1.html#2i Guidelines from Consortium of College & University Media Centers provided by the North Carolina Department of Public Instruction Section “Giving credit also applies to images, charts, graphs, audio, video etc., not created by you, that you incorporate into your presentations. Somewhere near the item (above, below, or next to), be sure to indicate the source.” University of Maine at Farmington. Giving Credit – Presentations, Websites, etc. http://plagiarism.umf.maine.edu//credit2.html (3 May 2006) The Library of Congress provides examples of the information needed for citing various types of multimedia found on their site. These examples apply to other presentations as well. http://memory.loc.gov/learn/start/cite/index.html |
| Is there a resource that enables students to properly cite resources? | Yes, there are online resources that provide information about how to cite multimedia and web resources. A few of them are listed below. OhioLINK includes a page on “How to Cite Sources in a Paper” at http://www.ohiolink.edu/help/cite-sources.html The International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions provides a list of links to “Style Guides and Resources” at http://www.ifla.org/I/training/citation/citing.htm Massachusetts Institutes of Technology (MIT) Libraries also provides a list of links to style manuals at http://libraries.mit.edu/help/citing.html |
Is there a resource that enables students to quickly and easily understand that easy access to resources does not mean easy and unauthorized use of those resources? (cut and paste generation seems to lack this conceptual framework) |
Highlighting the common myths of copyright might be a quick way to introduce this concept. Brad Templeton, an expert on cyberspace issues, lists “Top Ten Myths about copyright explained”, and provides a link to his explanation of basic copyright as a context for these “myths”. http://www.templetons.com/brad//copymyths.html For a more general introduction to copyright, see: Copyright/Fair Use Guides |
