I am preparing an educational presentation and want to use content from the Oregon Encyclopedia. What are the guidelines for using their images, how should I properly cite an article in my presentation, and am I allowed to make minor changes to the article content before including it? Summarize these policies.
Navigate to the Oregon Encyclopedia homepage. Click on the 'Permissions' link. Read the content on the 'Permissions' page to identify policies. Identify the policy on image usage, including who to contact for permission. Identify the required attribution format for articles (bibliography and footnote/endnote). Determine any restrictions on modifying article content and if short excerpts are allowed. Synthesize the gathered information into a concise summary.
Confirm that direct permission is required from image copyright holders, and mention that information for OHS collection images is found via a link. State that articles must be attributed to both The Oregon Encyclopedia and the authors, providing an example of the citation format (e.g., Author, 'Title,' The Oregon Encyclopedia, URL, Date accessed). State that altered entries may not be published or attributed to The Oregon Encyclopedia, its authors, or the Oregon Historical Society, but short quoted excerpts are allowed with attribution.
