want to reproduce or your teenager's new home page. Copyright permissions specialist and newsletter publisher Besenjak has produced a well-crafted and highly readable "how-to" guide that addresses everyday needs of the copyright-consuming and -creating public. Her resource provides a solid introduction to copyright use and protection in a variety of contexts?printed word, visual art, performing arts, music, electronic?with directional pointers for the more complex questions. It shows how to determine whether something is protected as determined by what it is and when it was copyrighted and then how to begin tracking down the copyright owner(s) when the need arises. Besenjak's work comes complete with addresses, phone numbers, web sites, and samples of things like permissions letters and cease-and-desist letters.
