What if you want to use more that what is legally considered fair use? Or, what if a book or journal is no longer in print? Or, what if you cannot find the creator or distributor of a work? And what about copyright and usage rules when making license agreements with vendors? Here are resources on obtaining permissions for use \u2014 which might indeed require payment \u2014 as well as how to research and evaluate out-of-print and orphaned works for usage.
\nYou will frequently encounter situations where you will need to seek permission to use a copyrighted work. Sometimes during that search, you might find that the work is out-of-print, or the original owner or distributor is no longer around. Sometimes the work will be music or video, which carry their own set of permission-gathering investigations. Furthermore, you might need to focus\u00a0policies and agreements for your organization when working with vendors of databases, ebooks, and other digital content subscriptions \u2014 where fair use and DRM issues become paramount.<\/p>\n
