Planning to quote extensively from someone else's work or looking to republish a book that's (hopefully) in the public domain? Here's a quick tool you can use to determine what's protected by copyright, what you need permission for, and what's in the public domain. (Thanks to Michael Brewer at the University of Arizona Library.)

Neat tool, Atilla. Also very useful (if not as easy to implement) is the referenced article, "How to Investigate the Copyright Status of a Work" (http://www.copyright.gov/circs/circ22.pdf). Tracking down copyright status can be a real challenge!
