Academic Purposes (ARTstor & IAP for publishing) Museums: can purchase rights to use images Using images online brings different issues Dissertations/Theses—Fair Use BUT check & cite
Visual Resources AssociationSTATEMENT 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.
