Who holds the copyright?

Page 15: How it Applies Copyright and to Graduate Students · Moral Rights Economic Rights right to the integrity of the work right to assign work their own name, pseudonym, or anonymously

If it’s not you, identify acceptable uses of the content.

Read the fine print. Are these uses adequate?

When in doubt, ask.

October 2014.

1. Anticipate current and future needs.

2. Understand terms of the agreement / publisher policies before you sign.

3. Negotiate / work with publishers.
