May I incorporate graphics or images (pictures, cartoons, tables, charts, graphs) into my instructional presentations?
Answer
Images or graphics found in printed materials may be scanned or copied and placed into a presentation. When the presentation is done in a face to face situation, you do not need to obtain publisher permission. However, distributing copies of the image or graphic will require obtaining permission when any of the following apply:
- Using multiple images from a single source.
- The image or graphic was found in a licensed resource such as an electronic library resource. Review the “Terms of Use” found on the publishers website to determine if written permission is required.
- Re-using the image or graphic for multiple semesters.
- Re-publishing in another publication.
- Placing the presentation onto an electronic storage device i.e. flash drive or printing for re-distribution.
