title: Copyright law: how it affects your hospital and you.
abstract: Nurse administrators, inservice educators, and other nursing supervisors need to be aware of how copyright law affects the use of educational materials in hospitals, medical centers, and nursing homes. The United States' Copyright Act of 1976, along with Congressional guidelines and federal rulings, have a great deal to say regarding photocopying, off-air videotaping, and use of materials borrowed from lending libraries. Examples of copyright infringement are given, with suggestions for avoiding them.
