This document provides guidance on copyright workflows for using images in dissertations and other scholarly works. It begins with an overview of copyright and exceptions like fair use. It then outlines a 4-step workflow: 1) determine if permission is needed by checking copyright status and fair use; 2) seek permission from rights holders if needed; 3) consider any non-copyright restrictions; and 4) decide how you will share your work. The document concludes by analyzing some example use cases to demonstrate how to apply the workflow in practice. The key messages are to carefully evaluate fair use and seek permission when in doubt, while also considering contractual and other legal factors that could impact permissible usage.
