Please see #6 of the VRA Statement on the Fair Use of Images (pp.11-12) and contact Micah Zeller, Copyright and Digital Access Librarian, if you have questions or concerns.
The six uses of copyrighted still images that the VRA believes fall within the U.S. doctrine of fair use:
1) Preservation (storing images for repeated use in a teaching context and transferring images to new formats);
2) Use of Images for Teaching Purposes;
3) Use of Images (both large, high-resolution images and thumbnails) on course websites and in other online study materials;
4) Adaptations of Images for Teaching and Classroom Work by Students;
5) Sharing Images Among Educational and Cultural Institutions to Facilitate Teaching and Study; and
6) Reproduction of Images in Theses and Dissertations

Predatory Publishers
Predatory Publishers, How not to publish your thesis or dissertation?
In July 2013, we had a question from an author of a WUSTL thesis in Open Scholarship Electronic Theses and Dissertations. She reported receiving a series of emails from LAP Lambert Academic Publishing offering to publish her thesis. The wording of the emails was almost identical to the quotes from this May 2013 blog post, The Lure of Lambert Academic Publishing. This is a tempting offer since many graduate students hope eventually to publish their work in book form with a publisher that will contribute to their scholarly reputation.
Scholarly publishing, peer review, and assessment of scholarship are changing areas. There may be reasons to use such a publisher, but there are clear reasons to look critically at such offers. You are already distributing your work with Open Scholarship without signing over your author rights to a publisher. Ask your mentors and do some research before you entrust your hard work to a publisher which may not further your scholarly goals.
