©Primer

The ©Primer is an introduction to issues concerning copyright ownership and use of information. The interactive tutorial overviews the underlying principles behind copyright in the United States, outlines the requirements for copyright protection, and discusses the parameters of use and access of copyrighted material. It opens with a short Flash animation and moves into a series of questions and answers. Upon completion, a user is e-mailed a transcript of their responses to the primer's illustrative scenarios. Please see the FAQ for more information. A Java enabled web browser and the free Macromedia Flash Player plug-in is necessary to view this tutorial.
