Did you know that when a movie is shown inside a school for non-educational purposes, a license is required? YHS has a public performance license to publicly exhibit films from certain studios. To learn more and plan your next event, please contact Amy Roberson, YHS Library Media Specialist, at amy_roberson@yarmouthschools.org. To see if your film is covered by the license, please go to https://swank.com/K-12-schools. Look for the magnifying glass in the upper-right corner to search the site by title, genre, keyword, director and even actor.
This website has information on citing websites, books, images, and more.
This is a good starting place to learn about copyright and fair use.

Copyright is the legal protection that creators have over the things they create.
"Creative Commons is a global nonprofit organization that enables sharing and reuse of creativity and knowledge through the provision of free legal tools. Our legal tools help those who want to encourage reuse of their works by offering them for use under generous, standardized terms; those who want to make creative uses of works; and those who want to benefit from this symbiosis. Our vision is to help others realize the full potential of the internet."
Fair use is the ability to use copyrighted work without permission, but only in certain ways and in specific situations. This presentation describes the "four factor of fair use."
