Fair Use Checklist (PDF)

Name:                                                                                   

Date:

Class or Project:

Course and Term:

Title of Copyrighted Work:

Author and Publisher:

Portion(s) to be used (e.g., pages, timer counts):

Instructions: Check only those facts that apply to your use.  No single item or factor is determinative of fair use. Total up the number of checkmarks to give an approximate weighting for comparison purposes.

Where the factors favoring fair use outnumber those against it, reliance on fair use is justified. Where fewer than half the factors favor fair use, instructors should seek permission from the rights holder. Where the factors are evenly split, instructors should consider the total facts weighing in favor of fair use as opposed to the total facts weighing against fair use in deciding whether fair use is justified. Not all of the facts will be present in any given situation.
