| Copyright A copyright is the "right" of an author or publisher to
control the use of an original work that the author or publisher has produced. However,
this "right" does not extend to works of the Federal government.
Therefore, works created by IHS employees as part of their official duties are in the
public domain. Although many government materials are in the "public domain" the
public domain does not extend outside the United States. Therefore, those in
foreign countries who wish to reproduce any material offered by government agencies should
request specific permission from the originating agency.
Standards
Ensure that disseminated information complies with copyright
law for those materials where others are the copyright holders.
Guidelines
- Of independent illustrations or collections, no more than five images of an artist or
photographer should be used.
- Proper credit should be given to all copyright material.
- When in doubt, give credit as if the material was copyrighted.
- If credit is given for one item, credit must be given for all items.
- Reference the HHS World Wide Web Applications and the Internet Best Practices and
Guidelines, http://www.hhs.gov/progorg/oirm/bestguid.html
for additional information.
