With the advancements of technology increasing daily in schools, students now have access to numerous variety of resources to use for educational purposes and aide with their work. Just like all new ideas comes new problems because we now have entire new way of gaining resources through new technologies. Way back about 1000 years ago students had access to public libraries and books which made citing easy. The Copyright act of 1976 was the last law that stated fair use of work in education. The problem we have now is we have come a long way since 1976 and have a new array of technology students can use. There have been a few other acts implementing some guidelines such as CONFU (The Conference on Fair Use) and The Consortium of College and University Media Centers (CCUMC) to help better differentiate what is fair game for student’s safety when it comes to copyright. Although none of this is technically set in stone, the Fair Use Guidelines For Educational Multimedia set up a list of what is allowed to use, how to use it, how to cite it and what to avoid. There are quite a few minor details that have not yet been worked out but as quick as our technology world is moving it will always be a challenge to keep up with legally allowing oneself to use the specific work.
