Dissertations/Theses—Fair Use BUT check & cite
18. STATEMENT ON FAIR USE OF IMAGES FOR TEACHING,
RESEARCH & STUDY
http://www.vraweb.org/organization/pdf/VRAFairUseGuidelinesFinal.pdf
Historically, graduate students have not obtained
permissions.
However, as theses have been posted to online
repositories, owners/operators have often required that
students obtain all copyright permissions (as a way of
managing their own risks).
As a result, students are required to address copyright
issues to obtain their academic degrees.
VRA Statement argues for Fair Use regarding the inclusion
of images in dissertations & theses.

enables an individual to effectively find,
interpret, evaluate, use, and create
images and visual media. “Visual literacy competency standards

Images and GraphicsOur guidance about the use of images and graphics as fair use is affected significantly by the fourth fair use factor. It is often difficult or even impossible to get permission to use images and graphics. This situation is changing in some fields where it is now possible to license databases of good quality images at reasonable prices for nonprofit educational uses. For example, Saskia and other art history image vendors offer educational licenses. If it is easy to license the right to use the images you need, you should do so. But, for images for which a digital source is not readily available, or for which permission is difficult or impossible to obtain, use of images without permission in an educational document like a dissertation is probably a fair use. Again, you should document any efforts you make to obtain permission.“Fair Use Guidelines for Dissertations” from University of Texas at http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/etd/fair_use.html
