Okla. Admin. Code § 210:1-3-7 - Copyright Laws
(a) Except in
special circumstances, Departmentally-produced materials shall not be
copyrighted but instead be freely copied and used by local districts and other
educators. However, permission is not granted by this statement for copies or
excerpts to be used out of context which might present the material as being in
conflict with Board policy, rules, regulations, or with the law.
(b) All use of copyrighted materials (meaning
all printed publications, films, filmstrips, videotapes, and computer programs)
by Department Staff shall follow federal and state rules, regulations,
statutes, and judicial interpretations. If information is excerpted, credit
shall be given by recognizing the source(s) of the copied material. When
needed, written permission must be received before copyrighted materials are
reproduced.
(c) The Board
establishes for the State Department of Education that some reproduction of
copyright materials will be permitted, in accordance with Federal Copyright
Guidelines, for purposes of criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching
(including limited multiple copying for instructional use), scholarships, or
research. Further,
(1) that each section
administrator should be familiar with the limitations imposed by the Copyright
Act of 1986 (Title 17 of the United States Code, Sections 106-108,
504
) or Copyright Officer Circular R21;
(2) that proper written permissions be
obtained before copyrighted materials are produced; and
(3) that on such materials the copyright
statement and permission statement be used.
(d) Since the copyrighting guidelines specify
that the regulations of copyright material shall not be directed by a higher
authority, the administrator of the printing services section shall be the
interpreter of the guidelines for permissible reproduction of materials in the
Department.
