Resumen de Copyright and the Resource Centre
Copyright is one of the most complex branches of the law. It is also a subject surrounded by much confusion, a mass of half‐truths and a fair measure of folklore. Education can fairly be said to exist on a diet of copyright material and so the subject is of particular interest to all those engaged in education.
This article is divided into three parts. First, a summary of the relevant provisions of the copyright ‐law which will help towards an understanding of what follows; second, a review of the main difficulties faced by education in general and resource centres in particular in the use of copyright material; and third, an account of the work of the Council for Educational Technology in seeking solutions to the problems.
