Hi Kate

I have never heard of 'Fair use' applying to book publication!

I'd advise the author to seek permission from the copyright owners to use the tables he requires.

They may charge to have them go into a book.

Hi all,

I've got a colleague who is writing an open access statistics books for humanities students and has asked for help on a copyright enquiry. Can anyone help? This is his request:

"I want to include tables of critical values in the book. These are widely available online, in statistics books and specialists books with table, but usually appear with copyright notices on them, (but mostly copyrighted to the website owner/ book author). I haven't managed to find any available as OERs or under a CC licence online. I'm finding all this a bit confusing, as you need the critical values tables to be able to do statistical tests. Is there some sort of 'fair use' I could claim?"

Many thanks!

Kate
