The multimedia guidelines

Journal of the American Society for Information Science, 1999, vol. 50, issue 14, 1324-1327

Abstract: The process leading to the drafting of fair‐use guidelines for educators who are creating multimedia curricula is documented through the experience of the Association of American Colleges and Universities (AAC&U), one of the dozens of educational organizations that served on the development committee. This article outlines the challenges and opportunities presented by new media, the issues that have engaged educators and copyright holders in heated debate, and the strategies that helped move a committee from impasse to action over a three‐year period. Summarizing sections of the guidelines, the article makes plain the purpose of multimedia guidelines, their relation to fair‐use law, who can benefit from using them and how, and some of the public education and advocacy campaigns created by the committee to promote public awareness about fair use and the multimedia guidelines.
