Using copyrighted material in a publication

Before submitting a manuscript to Cooperative Extension Publishing, authors are responsible for obtaining copyright permission for the use of any elements originally created or published by someone else (sample permissions request letter). If you hired someone not employed by the UW-Extension Cooperative Extension to work on your publication (for example, a freelance writer or photographer), the Publishing Unit also needs a copy of the signed work-for-hire agreement (sample agreement forms).

Authors should have a general understanding of what needs permission. A good source of information is the Cooperative Extension copyright policy.
