		Is it an original work of authorship?
		Is it fixed in a tangible medium of expression?
		Is it not an "idea, procedure, process, system, method of operation, concept, principle, or discovery, regardless of the form in which it is described, explained, illustrated, or embodied" in a copyrighted work?
		Is it not a work produced by a U.S. government employee in the scope of employment?
		Is it not a work the author has expressly made available for unrestricted copying, distribution, etc., effectively dedicated to the public domain?
		Has the copyright expired?
	B. Is there a legal basis for use without permission?
		Is it fair use? To enhance the fair use argument, especially for coursepacks and web-based teaching materials, (1) use excerpts that are short and qualitatively insubstantial; (2) limit access to students enrolled in the course; (3) end access after the course; (4) do not use the material repeatedly for a course; (5) include the copyright notice and appropriate attributions; (6) obtain permission if easy to do so (cost and timing perspective).
		Is it a performance and/or display of a work in a face-to-face teaching setting?
		Is it a transmission of a performance and/or display of limited works to a classroom setting for teaching purposes?
2.	Obtaining permission to use copyrighted works:
		Identify the copyright holder (best to confirm by phone or e-mail before seeking permission).
		Send written request for permission to use. Allow several weeks lead time. Can the district pay a licensing fee/royalty?
		If license fee is too much or there is no response, be prepared to use a limited amount that qualifies for fair use, or use alternative materials.
		Obtain legal review/contract review for any license agreements other than the district's permissions form.
