These sites are just a sampling of the many excellent online resources dealing with copyright. Several of these sites are from universities throughout the country. Even though they are campus-specific, they give reliable information and, in 2 cases, are maintained by well-known copyright specialists (*University of Texas System and **Indiana University).

Due to the complexities of copyright law and inconsistencies in interpretation, we invite you to speak with Michele Strange, Access Services Librarian at 608-785-8943 or strange.mich@uwlax.edu about copyright issues.
