TRU's Intellectual Property website goes over the basics of classroom/publishing copyright information: http://www.tru.ca/ipo/faq.html Here are some basic tips:

- Check whether an image you want to use is fair dealing, in the public domain, or have a Creative Commons licence for re-use.
As the map on the right illustrates, to many of us, copyright laws can be difficult to navigate or comprehend, so please contact the Intellectual Property Office if you have any questions or concerns. Pinterest - Use Creative Commons Images
