Welcome to the University of Michigan Copyright Website

This site provides basic information about copyright and scholarly publishing to support your activities as part of the U-M community. Copyright law can be complex and confusing, and wherever possible we provide clarification on the issues most relevant to scholars, researchers, staff, and students. This site strives to offer you clear and straightforward information, but it is not comprehensive. For more detailed information about any of the issues covered here, visit our resources page to find reliable sources elsewhere on the web, or contact us.

Be sure to check out our events page to learn about upcoming copyright workshops and speakers.

We are always looking for ways to improve this site. If you have any questions, comments, or feedback, please send us an email.
